Ettie Christian-Bowling Poet Rhyme

Laying Here

Laying Here I Tell Myself I Hate This 
I feel like I could take my whole life and close it within my Fist

Yet Here I lay as another week has came and went 
Laying here just thinking how much of my Life do I resent? 

My Thoughts have a way of just making things worse 
Laying here is  not going to help when all i really need to do is find a way to feel better before I burst

Not everyday is this bad 
Laying here i quickly come to realize things must change before I end up going Mad 

Written during a moment when life was more heavy then usual

Alex Roth September 9, 2024 at 12:04 AM Time is pressurizing and accelerating. It seems as if a global event is going to occur. And, often, that translates into feelings of despair and frustration. At least that's the way I interpreted it. It was nice to hear from you again, Ettie.

Kelly Deschler March 18, 2023 at 1:40 PM I have times like this, too. I try not to listen to that voice, and just get up and find something better to occupy my mind... You capture and express those moments and those thoughts well here... Nicely done, Ettie. Ettie Christian-Bowling May 18, 2023 at 3:21 PM agreed! Thank you -Best Wishes
