Always thought
you'd have it better
twenty-seven years
maybe by now
a job that made you smile
and a car with a silver shimmer?

Today you look
around
and cannot believe
that is where you've been
and this is where you've
landed.

Frustration mounts
as you come home to
undue anger
shouting matches
draining every ounce of
motivation.

I see it now-
and the life you own is dwindling.

All I want is to hold your hand
and be your "inspiration"
twenty-seven years
and you could be
blissful...

And still you cannot see
your worth-
as you sit there
just waiting for it

Numb.

Thank you everyone.
This is more of a story-telling poem- perhaps not quite prose though. Anyway, it's kind of important to hear your feedback so, thank you.
