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
