Problems and Solutions – Written January 2001 (Aged 25)

Problems and Solutions

there is no compensation for the feeling
those who are doing well –
will tell you that you should be leaving
they only see solutions
and that rain is not just rain
it is a way of filling up the rivers
those are who are not doing so well
will tell you that they do understand
they see all the problems,
and that the rain will only lead to floods
there is no compensation for the feeling
take each day as it comes
if it is any compensation,
i know some days are easier than others
and it is just a case of finding people
and making sure that we stick together




James Garratt – January 2001
