Falling

Another poem written on the basis of depression

The monotony is getting to me

I'm falling away from this life

Slowly but surely.

I'll get up eventually

But it'll be longer than expected

No matter what I use to get lifted

I always end up dropping.

At times I'm happy

But rarely is it real

I wish I could hold my head up high

But it's just not how I feel.

This life is a bore

I only wish for more

And I can't seem to grasp

What I'm ever gonna need

To end this lapse of a wasted life.

Author's Note

The rhyming is rather random

This struck an extremely heavy chord in me! It's as if you poked at my mind a little and wrote EXACTLY what I was thinking. This is very sad, but very good.

good begining poem, however id suggest to not focus on the depression of the situation. its just really used and old at this point, i always try and make them hopeful at some point. it helps the poem have some depth to just the stright "i hate myself and i want to die" attitude.
