I Am Feeling LowA 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 © 2016 Julian Lorenzana |
