when you are a teenager and you are
angry it makes sense.
mothers click their tongues at you
saying it will get better. saying it
will. it will.
because it has to.

but then
you wake up only to find yourself
lost somewhere in your twenties and you are
still
angry
and nothing makes sense and
not even mothers can convince you it will
get better. saying it will. it will.
because No.

it doesn't have to.
