How Much Longer

How much longer

can I continue to live

such a redundant life

with no purpose

or real desire

to amount to much.

How much longer

Will this depression

run through my body

and drag me so low

that I can’t find my way

out of the blankets

that hold me and my tears.

How much longer

until I make the change

and leave this life

I have grown to despise

And lost amusement

in the small things

That once made this life

bearable.
