Visually Unappealling

Simmer down
low down
underground,
perhaps... if you think that'll help.
No use thinking
things,
impossible things--
greener things
strings
attached
no use cutting
no use running--
just yet.
Is it always this way?
Or is there a day
coming
where the world will seem
brighter
lift me higher
filled with cheer
no more fear
or regret
don't fret.
Maybe it's almost here.
