confidence misplaced

another pound gained

payment due

© Rachel Green September 2026

every day is yesterday

and every yesterday the day before

my routines never vary:

wake, water, coffee;

apples, bananas, clementines.

i can't be bothered to cook,

so cereal becomes the default

and then the regret.

write some poetry 

write some of my novel

play another game.

and then the nightmares

the anxiety

the self deprecation.

and what's the point anyway?

i'll be soon in the grave.
