Mood Swing

I am in a mood today
Can not say I am mad
I just feel out of place
And no I am not sad

So I will choose to smile
On the inside where it matters
Turn this whole funk around
Avoid annoyed mad hatters

See I ate spaghetti for lunch
Someone else is hungry for sure
Why get my panties in a bunch
Cuz life can be so unsure

I prayed for a place to stay
Looks like that’s in the works
The only thing is I’m afraid
Of acting anti social like a jerk

So please forgive my sharp glance
It is not meant for you
There was this rapist man
Who taught me what I should do

Wearing my gun in a gaze
Instead of packing for real
Really works for bad days
When my attitude isn’t chill

So this mood of gray will pass
And I will finally feel relieved
We all need a good green laugh
So I’m going to watch a comedy.

People tend to forget everything on earth happens in cycles so your horizons are always changing. Stay the course and wonderful things are bound to happen! Aloha!

Wow. You persevere nicely it seems with your wonderful poetry. I am sorry you feel sad all the time. Is it something you just live with or can you get help to change it? I don't want you to be sad my friend. Will pray for your heart and mood to be lifted.

It's nice that moods are so transient, and bad moods don't last. But if one one must have a bad mood, I prefer your way. A wonderful poem, Karen. :)
