I Feel Like Shit…

A short poem about true feelings

Born to be expressive, I feel like shit.

Six figures, six meals, six hours of sleep, I feel like shit.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, I feel like shit.

Saved from the gnarly hands of poverty, I feel like shit.

Drug dealers and kidnappers at play, I feel like shit.

Rolling deadlines and pending action items, I feel like shit.

A loved one losing a loved one, I definitely feel like shit.

[a few days later]

Seems like,

I’m beginning to un-feel like shit…
