Denial

I'm exhausted, I'm tired, my legs feel like led, My bones all let out a sigh. I haven't done anything to wear myself out, Still I'm exhausted and I just don't know why. I got plenty of sleep, watching tele all night, My eyes shut by around about four. And my internal clock woke me briskly at seven, When my lungs let out a monstrous snore. And I ate healthy food with energy drinks, Fish and chips, big Mac and a beer. Yet I'm still sitting here, tired, worn out and flat, A bit hazy since my head is not clear. I'm beat and exhausted after a full day at work, I don't know why I've lost all my might. I guess I'll relax with fish and chips and a beer, And watch tele again all of tonight.

a great example of 'you put out what you put in' we get in unhealthy habits and this is a full circle of self destruction with a great poetic flow. well done,x
