Great Big Storm

My concerns are not insignificant
because, dammit, I'm trying.
I'm trying.

My concerns are not insignificant
I just need a hand to hold
but instead
all I ever get is reprimanding lips
and condescending tones
and broken promises
and waved hands.

Maybe I have a problem
but my concerns are not insignificant.
I just want to know the truth
truth
truth
is such an ugly word.

I'm just trying to hold my own.
I'm trying.
I just want to know the truth
truth
truth
is such an ugly word.
