When will I lose ten more pounds?
Why didn't I get a raise?
Why am I unsuccessful?
Why do I feel so empty?
Why did he hit me again?
Why was I raped as a child?
Why does my mom have cancer?



     wait...


  to preach good news to the poor






    but when the messiah came,
    I thought there'd be peace on Earth.

   I thought my life would be changed.

I'm still here--and nothing's changed.
(nothing has changed, except me)
