New perspective sorely needed
current one rubbing raw
How can I cope with change
when life fields me no support?
The Hangman leers
his upside-down frown
mocking self- pity
I sense a barrage
of platitudes
headed my way.

I’ve been pulling the hangman all week, and you’re the second person to reference it.

Darn! I pulled it once for two years. Guess I’m stubborn to see that alternate perspective, lol.

As the song says; Just give me one thing that I can hold on to. To believe in this livin’ is just a hard way to go.

It is indeed…at times. Appreciate the song lyric and not the platitude, lol.
