The other side

Take me
to the
other side
of long
days bad
haircuts
lost love
and lame
movies
take me
to the
other side
of unemployment
of crappy
college apartments
of toothaches
and migraines
of tornadoes
and tsunamis
take me
to the
other side
of winter's
cold of
writer's block
of PTSD
of depression
and outrage
please

take me
to the
other side
of everything
that happens
while we
sit on
our hands
hold our
breath and
pray like
true believers
for something
good
to happen
