Depressed
My mind is boggled down
My chest feels wrapped too tight,
Just wanna curl up in a ball
Sure as hell don't wanna fight.
I wanna lean back in my chair
Close my eyes and float away
Cause the sh* that's piling up.
Is just too much for today.
My eyes are feeling heavy
My heart is beating low--
Insides bunched up in a knot
Don't know where the heck to go.
They tell me not to think about it,
So I try to let it slide.
I sit here in my quiet grief
And I'm all tore up inside.
"These feelings won't last forever"
I've heard that a time or ten.
I'm not worried 'bout forever,
I just need this crap to end.
So I sit here in my easy chair;
The words are flowing out.
They have a healing power--
Of this I have no doubt.
My mind is boggled down
Today I cannot fight;
So I'll sit back in my chair,
And try my best to write.
