Arrears ... Beam

Today's word is "arrears" ... uh-REERZ ... the state of being behind or late, especially in the fulfillment of a duty, promise, obligation, or the like. (Dictionary.com)

Beam
When you're underneath it,
And can't see the end,
When every breath's a challenge,
And you don't know if you can mend,

And everything is in arrears,
And everything seems broken,
When the thoughts that are in your head,
Cannot be loudly spoken.

It's time to turn some things around,
And look past the darkened sky,
To know the light's just hidden,
And that soon the clouds will fly.
