Knock me down
Gray
is
the
sky.
Gray is the feeling I have within me.
Bright
is
the
luminosity
of
the
day.
Bright is the opposite of what I feel and reminds me of that fact.
Cold
is
the
temperature
of
the
out
of
doors.
Cold is the feeling I have within me.
Wind
is
so
often
seen
in
Chicago.
Wind, accompanied by the gray, bright, and cold, cuts through me like a knife as I walk.
My emotional state
is stable
despite the
gray,
bright,
cold,
and wind
that I experience on a daily basis.
I want
to improve
but the
international,
national,
regional,
community,
and personal issues
knock me down as
never
before
and
getting
up
from
it
gets
harder
and
harder.
I
beg
for
peace.
