It Will Get Better


by Patrick Dye (18)

I delude myself every day,
Saying,
"It will get better."

Year after year, month after month, day after day,
Repeatedly saying,
"It will get better."

Rejection after rejection, shock after shock, semester after semester,
Stupidly saying,
"It will get better."

My parents, their friends, my relatives,
Also say,
"It will get better."

And here I stand on the brink of the rest of my life,
Saying, ironically,
"It will get better."
