Elucidating Questions

Don’t you hope sometimes that you were wrong

And the answer is no, not at all.

Only because it took me that long to realise it hadn’t already.

Only because every day is so hard and if there was a chance of

Anything changing

If it could be as simple as

That when it was and it still wasn’t enough

Belief that there is a one would require believing I’m a one myself.

And believing I was didn’t mean anyone cared.
