Lost Long Ago.

 There’s a certain type of patience

that leads you to your wits end.

It’s more than impatient I’ve become.


It’s tired,

              worn,

                       grown thin

                       and feeling greatly depreciated

                       by a solemn single chance

                       of beginning again.

Simply to see the same circumstances

come to sight.


When certain creatures command your credentials,

demanding daily objects,

you’re unable to deliver.


There is no assurance - no cure for the kids cancer.

              No guarantee the treacherous removal of the mass

                      won’t kill its host, or regrow rapidly.


So my patience fled,
