A Bad Hand... Poem by Nestor David Armas

This day

Could've

Ended another way,

But Superman

Did not

Save the day,

Today,

Things started out

Like a smoothie; smoothly,

But then it got rough,

Tough, crumbly,

I could not

Keep my composure,

Afraid of the light,

Of over exposure,

I could not

Keep myself together,

I couldn't stand

The weight

Of even a feather,

Nobody would leave me alone,

I wanted to be already at home,

Didn't they understand what I felt?

Today a bad hand I was dealt...
