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.

Well, ahem, who would want her 'panties in a bunch' anyway?! Some of your lines just knock my socks off, Karen!! Keep 'em coming! Up and Away! ~ Gershon

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!

you're lucky. I'm sad all the time because of the meds I take.

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. :)
