A Dissatisfaction With ThingsA Poem by theupsanddownsIn short, a poem about growing older while struggling with depression.
Down in the dumps
I know I've been here before I've got this look in my eyes And my face on the floor Don't know why... it is that I come here It's just a place... a place my mind wanders Deep and sunk in My eyes, they open again But it's so lonely and cold That I can't see a thing With a rose colored tint Instead it all has been singed A dissatisfaction with things My mind is at it again Take me now... and you won't have to deal with me later I'd do it myself... but I'm hesitant pulling triggers Thirty-six years Known this place for the past twenty-three But I never did seek it It's something that came to me And that's why I can't escape Because it bottles me up Thirty-six long years and counting A long time to just self destruct Don't know why... it is that I come here It's just a place... a place my mind wanders Take me now... and you won't have to deal with me later I'd do it myself... but I'm hesitant pulling triggers © 2015 theupsanddowns |
