The Deepest Disdain

A really bad day

These frayed confetti of unfulfilled portents, wasteful garbage, are really bringing me down.

Bullshit. Hunger. Pain. Apathy. All make me think I'm diseased.

My circling. tremorring messy brain grinds me hard straight to the ground,

and leaves me capable barely of rational, sane thought and speech.

I cant get up the drive to drive back into town.

Lethargic and dizzy, shredded, not at my peak.

I'm not right of mind - in the wrong mental space to turn this sad sitch around.

All the tell-tale demons bubble from depths of disdain, far deep underground, where I sometimes sleep.

Letters come, telephones keep shrieking and I cant f*****g hide.

Every single contact revealing more of their demanding desperate needs.

Collectors, Prospectors, Detective Inspectors, ex-friends and forgotten lovers - your non-urges are denied!

Slimy leeches don't you see you don't need my blood to feed?

Hey, maybe, you wanna, I don't know, see if we can get high?

Get as far from this heart rending confusion, as I know you want to be.

You got nothing else happening, and well, neither do I.

And it could well be our last chance for awhile to be this free.

That's excellent. So many things in this that I can relate to and so many quotable lines that made me smile. I think my favorite sentiment was "Slimy leeches don't you see you don't need my blood to feed?". I shall remember this one for when I just want to crawl back in bed and leave the phone off the hook.

Wow Jayne that was really awesome, I can relate a lot to your poem. Sometimes when I feel like I can't think and i'm at home being bored I will go for a long walk around the town. It helps with my headaches and lethargy. Either way I see your mind is sharper than a razor so the cabin fever is not affecting you. I look forward to reading your other works.

I dont know about sharp, but I do like to analyse and try to understand the world to the best of my ability. Thanks ThackeryB!
