I Am Feeling Low

I Am Feeling Low

A Poem by Julian Lorenzana

 

 

I AM FEELING LOW

 

 

I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME

 I KNOW I AM FEELING LIKE HELL

I WONDER WHAT IT COULD BE

BUT I WISH I WAS FEELING WELL

 

A GOOD DOCTOR I WILL PICK

HE WILL BE THE ONE WHO WILL KNOW

FOR SURE IF I COULD BE SICK

AND WHY I HAVE BEEN FEELING LOW

 

I CANNOT DO VERY MUCH

NOW THAT I HAVE LOST MY REAL MUSE

HER BODY’S HEALTH IS SUCH

THAT MUCH OF IT SHE CANNOT USE

 

SO CHEERFUL AND FULL OF LIFE

THAT SHE HAD KEPT ME ON MY FEET

SHE WAS SUCH AN ACTIVE WIFE

ALWAYS KEEPING ME OFF MY SEAT

 

‘DO THIS, DO THAT, MY LOVE’

INCITING ME ON TO ACTION

IT WAS NEVER REALLY TOUGH

TO KEEP AWAY FROM INACTION

 

WHATEVER GOALS I HAVE MET

I CAN SAY THAT SHE WAS BEHIND

IF SOME GOALS I FAILED TO GET

THE REAL REASONS SHE HELPED ME FIND

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHEN NEW GOALS TO SET I TRY

SHE TENDS TO URGE ME ON AND ON

‘AWAY DO NOT LET THIS FLY

IF YOU RELAX, IT WILL BE GONE’

 

ACHIEVEMENTS HAVE COME TO ME

SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE IS MY MUSE

BUT FROM NOW ON THAT CAN’T BE

BECAUSE HER I CAN NO MORE USE

 

INDIFFERENT TO ALL SHE IS

FOR NOW SHE CANNOT THINK OR TALK

MY INSPIRATION I WILL MISS

FOR NOW SHE CANNOT EVEN WALK

 

THE FEELING I HAD BEFORE

MAKES ME THINK THAT I’M JUST DEPRESSED

THERE WON’T BE WINS ANYMORE

FOR NOW NO ONE WILL BE IMPRESSED

 

NO NEW GOALS I WILL NOW PICK

AS I HAD BEEN DOING BEFORE

BUT I WILL BE FEELING SICK

FOR ACCLAIMS THERE WILL BE NO MORE

 

I WILL NOW JUST SIT BESIDE

MY MUSE, WHO IS NOW REALLY ILL

HER ILLNESS MY LIFE WILL GUIDE

SIMPLY WAITING FOR OUR LORD’S WILL
