i am struggling
and only my boyfriend sees it

he confirmed the fact that winter makes me s.a.d 

and it does i guess i just never admitted it before

but how can i not 
i've been dealt a shit hand 

and every time i try to find an ace, 
i get let down. 

I.
lets start with the job
or lack thereof 
i have submitted application 
upon 

application 

and every time i get an interview 
i get called back 

but i end up leaving jobless 

II.
i just moved
i have no friends 
and the ones i do have 

seem like they have forgotten me 
or they too moved 
i am so alone 
i am depending on my boyfriend

and my dad 
for comfort
for human connection
it's so lonely when they both work full time

III.
my health insurance is no good

which makes it hard to find 

a therapist 
and even if i got an appointment 
(which i still don't know how to make
on my own)
it'd cost an arm and a leg 

to see them more than 3 times a year
(effectively omitting the opportunity for
any other appointments that i may need.)

IV.
my boyfriend 

stands by my side

even when frustration bubbles over
and i take it out while driving

or on him 

and yell a bit more than i should 
i am devastated by this fact
i was told i could make up for it 

by applying to more jobs 

V.
i feel like a stranger 
in this house

although i tell my dad it's a home 
it doesn't feel like it. 

this winter is off to a rocky start 
and i don't know how i'll manage the rest of it 
spring, 
i beg of you 

come soon
please.
