we’re told
everything happens
for a reason.
i’m not sure
i agree.
we’re told
we’ll never be
given more than
we can handle.
that’s a lie.
we’re told
that what doesn’t
kill us only
makes us stronger.
i beg to differ.
experience tells us
that sometimes crappy
things happen for
no apparent reason.
experience tells us
that sometimes what
we’re given would
make Jesus weep.
experience tells us
that sometimes what
doesn’t kill us leaves
us wounded beyond repair.
so if the platitudes
seem too saccharine
to swallow,
rejoice! there’s
always tomorrow,
or so we’re told.
peace, people!

I like this. It’s a touch of reality. I’ve always thought the “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” line was particularly stupid. It can just as leave you in a coma or on life support.
