“Gut Reactions”
By Ashley O’Hare
My gut has become sensitive.
I ignored it once-
it has yet to forgive me.
My gut has never been wrong before.
How ignorant was I
to think I knew better?
How foolish am I
to try to do it again?
My heart must love pain
if it keeps jumping into the shredder.
If only there was a formula
for solving every problem in my life.
If only there was a study guide
to help me prepare
for my next great challenge
and find the correct answers.
