grumpy

i’m sick of
finding
positive reinforcement
in pains
learning the valuable
lessons of heartache
valuing all the virtues
of endurance
dancing along wildly
with determination
always setting
a stellar example
of what one can do
if they make up
their mind
to hell with it
i want to roll about
in discontentment
sulk a bit
while someone notices
whine
into an empathetic ear
this morning
i will frolick
in the bitterness
of being
where i am
by noon
i promise
a steadfast return
to the
heady ideals
of hardship
