"it Just Gets Worse" by Bobby Torpey

It is so unhappy.
It has been this way;
Long time, no end in sight.
And every day,
It just gets worse.

I tried to give;
Tried to make it happy.
Gave it kindness,
Gave it space.
Accepted it,
Helped it.
But it just gets worse.

I don't know it,
Won't know it.
Can't seem to reach it;
And every day it just gets worse.
