The sickness was supposed to make me stronger

I was supposed to come out a better person

Someone you’d look up to

Someone with stories.

But when I think back 

To the pumpkin days 

Of gardens and colors and everything life

I don’t think I am any wiser 

The only thing that has changed 

Is I don’t feel much

And my words no longer connect

I was supposed to craft art from my pain 

The sun was supposed to set after the rain 

These were articles I read

What you told me to look forward to 

How long do I have to keep waiting?

Ten years ago I was happy

And although nothing lasts forever 

These days, 

I think I have just grown sour.
