Lack

Some days
Loss screams in my ear
Lack yells in my face

Tells me

How far I have to go
All I am missing
What little I have to look forward to

But I already know

What I’ve lost
I’m very clear
On what my life lacks

No need to scream

No need to yell

I can hear me

Quietly listing
Each loss, every lack
Just fine
On my own
