All Worked Out

All Worked Out

i thought
i had it all worked out
but what did I know?
why don’t you come here
please do not go
these days
i choose my smile from a small box
i go to bed when it is cold
i wrap up and wear the warmest socks
i thought
all this rain would one day stop
but it keeps on falling
these dyas
i hear a calling
but its language remains unknown
all these fears
are just home grown
i thought
i had it all worked out
but what did I know?
