With Her In Her Sadness

NaPoWriMo – Day 10

I didn’t use the optional prompt.

---

my friend is sad

and

I was raised believing
the power
to fix

EVERYTHING

lay (lived? lied?) within me
if only
I
worked
worked
worked
hard
enough

or said some magic words
to Jesus

but I can’t
even
muster
a fucking sea shanty (sorry, Jesus)
today

(which could be for the best)

so I choose
to be

With Her

In Her Sadness.
