Poetic Blueprint

This blog is about all things poetry. I will post my own poetry and write articles about ways for people to write, edit and publish their own poetry. There will be interviews also with poets. There will be poetry tips and words of encouragement also.

Will There Ever Be a Day

Poem by Dana L. Young

Will I ever wake up and find
That things are better this time?

That you aren’t angry
And I’m not misunderstood?
Will it be a day that you actually
Feel good?

A day where anger isn’t your
First reaction
To every situation.
And lashing out verbally
On every occasion.

Is that just a dream that
In reality
Doesn’t truly exist for me?

I wonder because no matter
What I do to help you
Feel better.

You reject it and end up
Ruining a good day.
But I always forgive you,
Anyway…

So when I wake up tomorrow
Will that be a day of sorrow?

Or will it be the very first day
That you wake and things are okay?
