MOST OF THE TIMEA Poem by Chris38This is just a rant I suppose.Most of the time I keep it together Force myself out of bed Thank the Lord for the things I have Force down food I don't like Manage to keep it down Write more worthless poems Work as much as I can Take long walks Keep myself busy Keep my thoughts only of you
Sometimes though.......
I pull the pillow over my head Ignore my phone when it rings Retreat far into memory Memories of a little girl That's when the blackness comes comes and takes me over and I don't care for anything or anyone
Sometimes....lately often times
I want to scream obscenities at the sky Throw the TV through the window Drink every last drop of that bottle I keep in the fridge Get in my car and drive at a hundred miles an hour Kill all the stupid people I see and hear every day Stick a needle in my arm-my old painkiller of choice Then the blackness comes back
Most of the time I keep it together
Most of the time........
