Days Like Today

It's days like today, I'm weaker than my doubts They feed on vulnerability and I have my share of bouts Heavy arms matched with flaccid legs of jello Voicemail overflowing, it hurts to say hello The world zips around me, blurred, as I stand fixed As if the ingredients of my mind, weren't properly mixed What is normal, define happiness, will I ever feel relief Questions on repeat, in hopes to leaven my grief Will I feel this way tomorrow or will it fade with the sun of today Perhaps a monsoon will come to rescue, washing nasty thoughts to bay Heavy eyelids blur my vision, worries weigh my body down A thick, substantial cloud of distress, hovering above my crown It's days like today, gravity resides around my bed While the rest of the world sees blue, I see a crimson red
