Poetry for a horrible day
by Elizabeth Challinor
Poetry for a horrible day
Not to whitewash the horribleness away
No hollow optimisms
Or silly pink frills
No
Calm words to help you stay
Sit still
With the horribleness
Feel it
See it
And know
You are not it
Even if it
Is in you
The horribleness
By the way
The word in itself is quite cute, isn't it?
