I Wish Things...

Warm, sunny day,
Cloudless, baby-blue sky,
I wish things worked that way.

Exuberance, exhilaration,
Sugar-sweet smile,
I wish things worked that way.

Energetic, playful,
Like a kitten chasing a mouse,
I wish things worked that way.

Rain crashing down,
Grey, dark sky,
i wish things weren't this way.

Despair, gloom,
A river of tears,
I wish things weren't this way.

Unable to get out of bed and keep going,
Like a diseased tortoise,
I wish things weren't this way.
