Misery and Other Gripes
I went to sleep lonely
And woke up the same
Hopefully I'll shake off
This new, acute pain
My good day last week
Seems very much in the past
I'm maybe just fed up
Or perhaps sinking fast
I've been here before
I'll likely cheer up
Some distraction will arrive
To fill up my cup
I don't feel my lonely
Is totally within reach
I'm scared of this lonely
It feels like grief
Maybe I've lost something
Some part of me
Maybe it's always been missing
And only now do I see
I can't find the comfort
My heart needs to heal
I'm trapped bearing feelings
That weigh too much to feel
It's like a galloping horse
Let loose in my chest
A tired out feeling
That remains after rest
My eyes don't want to
Awake from a blink
A supine position
Hurting to think
It'll lift in a moment
Like it has done before
My heart knows the combination
To this cell door
Feelings are strange
The rhyme and meter escape
Rhythmic quiet
The day trundles past
Keep on my coat
Incase I feel inclined
To go out
Out from myself
But I take myself along
Who or what lifts this cloud
Minute adoration
A friendly word
Winning a contest
Finding a friend
Fixing a problem
Walking the dog
Eating healthy
Taking vitamins
Singing out loud
Sitting in silence
24 hours and the mood might break
It swished out of sight briefly before
Not only that but I'm becoming a bore
