Old Friends

by Joan Serratelli

My old friend
is back
can't knock it out
trying to write
it down
get rid of it
but it stays
it persists
I cannot lose it

I don't want to
sound like a
broken record
but if the
shoe fit
...
wear it

I keep telling myself
to be patient
I just cannot
live with this
black cloud over my head

Author's Note: Call it post hospital blues- I just cannot shake this feeling of impending doom
