Pull Yourself Together

Pull Yourself Together

A Poem by KarMarBar
"

I hate those words!

"
Bored and lonely,
hungry and horny,
depressed and broke.
Life ain't no joke.

Thoughts in my head,
they race like a horse.
Anxiety is killing me,
showing no remorse. 

Restlessness invades my sleep,
my only escape from my mind.
Has anyone seen my sanity?
It's hiding too far for me to find.

Can't do this much longer
My head's grown too heavy
The thoughts want to pour out
like a broken water levy.

But I'll keep my heavy head,
and I won't try to go to bed.
I'll try some things the doctor said,
attempt to not let these tears shed.

"Pull yourself together", they say.
The cruelest words in the English language.

People always have to be a******s huh! They tell us to just get over all of our problems and all I can say is "It's not that easy" I really liked the lines

"Bored and lonely,
hungry and horny,
depressed and broke.
Life ain't no joke."

As they had a deep meaning to me. We are bored and lonely as the depression makes feel that way, fueled by the anxiety. Life surely isn't a joke as you said, it is a constant battle depending on who you are.

Well done! :)

As always, I'm glad my writing could have meaning to someone other than myself. Thanks!

BEAUTIFUL! The intricacy of the thoughts that this poem is trying to convey is so beautifully knitted that I am struck. Loved it!

Great job! It's sad how people never know what we're going through and they just say man up or it's not a big deal. Loved it

I agree my friend.
"Pull yourself together", they say.
The cruelest words in the English language."
The other one is "Tomorrow will be better." Honest words led to true ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Wow! LOVE this, it is so well written and has a nice rhyme scheme, but I mostly love the words and meaning of each stanza. It touches on so much that we all go through!

Thank you so much and I will certainly try to stay strong! :)
They are cruel words because if we could, we would. Brings to mind the saying, " Easier said than done ". Sad but great thoughts.
