Making it Through August

August 19, 2007 by John Hewitt 

I am
Sweaty
Grimy
Fat
Angry
Just getting up in the morning

I want this month to end
Before I say or do something I’ll regret
I can’t have a good day at work
Or even a decent day at home
When I start out wanting to disappear
Run to the north
Run to the forest
Just keep running until I am
Dry
Clean
Thin
Happy
Ready to deal with all the people
I don’t want to see

I keep getting up
And hoping for one truly great
Piece of news to get me out of this funk
But at this point
I would settle for no bad news
For just a few days
Of life not going wrong
