Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

Doesn't Go Away

I used to think
that on one bright day
all of my misery
would simply go away

It would fade into the background
Washed down the drain
By something or someone
That dropped from the sky like rain

But it never goes away
It keeps dragging me down
A yoke around my neck
That I'm forced to pull around

All I can do is keep walking
Because my misery doesn't go away
It's up to me to dream of a bright star
And keep walking forward to a new day
