the problem

The problem isn’t Monday 
Or that you haven’t had your coffee
The problem isn’t the job you took 
But won’t quit to get one you enjoy
The problem isn’t everybody around you
And your judgement of their intellect and choices 
In comparison to your own
The problem isn’t the price of gas
Or who’s leading the country
The problem isn’t the injustices of the world 
Or heterosexual white male privilege
The problem isn’t having to wait
In line
In traffic
On hold
The problem isn’t how healthy others are 
And how sick you feel
The problem is you think there’s actually a problem
