At least she isn’t suffering
At least it wasn’t worse
At least it’ll all be over soon
At least she has a nurse
At least it wasn’t fatal
At least they have four more
At least she has her health
At least he’s not a bore
*
At least
At least
At least…
*
At least is such a cop out
When we should expect much more.
*
Why do we even say it?
I use it all the time.
Yet I know when it pours out my mouth
That it’s bullshit, such a crime
*
I hate it when I say it, but
At least I respond at all.
Isn’t it worse to leave them hanging,
Offer something to recall?
*
At least my poem rhymes a bit
At least you read for free
Can you imagine if you paid for this?
At least I saved a tree
*
At least
At least
At least…
*
At least this is almost good-bye
At least my rhymes weren’t hella long
At least we can stop pretending
When our days are finally done and gone.
*
At least.

Oh my…this was so frivilously fun until the sucker punch of the last line – that slapped me right in the face! Very true though, I use it a lot and hate that I do but its that western kinda thing we do to ourselves when we just wanna moan but have been programmed to not. I love your cover art so much also! Beautiful!
It feels like such a crutch and yet I can’t help doing it. Like, here’s the silver lining to your sack of crap. Thank you so much for reading 🙂 And I’ve been trying to go through all my ‘discarded’ images and use them for inspiration.
I hear that…another go to for me is the classic ‘could be worse’ …Its somehow comforting to know that other people find themselves irritated with themselves as much as I am with myself 🤣 Wow, discared – it really is stunning!
