Bad Day
Jumbled dreams
Delayed start
Green light, go!
Early rush, fresh
Sunny day and a stroke of luck
Routine maintained and broken
Return and pause, then
Shattered expectations
Persistence ground into crumbs
Obligatory toil
Conceding tolerance, now
A new journey to improve
Disappointment of falling short
Corrective suggestion spurned
Eyes blur and lids droop
Anger and disdain, now
Return to leave again
Welcomed sustenance and companionship
Consider imminent possibilities
Confident arrival, then
Hopes extinguished
Joys of the day forgotten
Only failure and disappointment
No justification
Only bleak exhaustion
Disenchanted return
Bury my unshed tears, and
Hope for a better tomorrow
