'I'M DEPRESSED TODAY'
i'm depressed today,
i can't feel my fingers,
my heart drums underneath
my shirt like an African drum,
the beat quickens, anxiety thickens,
and i'm lying on my bed again,
with my eyes shut.
my fingers curled around
the ends of my hair,
as i pull and tear
onto the last part of my sanity,
that i thought i'd keep.
but if you're in so deep,
that breathing doesn't work
any longer,
unless you force your chest
to rise and fall,
as thoughts laced
with poison crawl..
through the cracks
in your foundation,
spilling, while breaking,
every last piece of who you were
and who you were meant to be,
what you wanted to say,
but couldn't.
gets lost in
the thoughts of your failure---
i'm depressed today,
my fingers are numb.
my heart bleeds, i feel weak,
and underneath my skin crawls
the anxiety that has brought me
to the point of
quaking and shaking,
so badly that i can't even
hold the glass of water
to swallow the pills,
that should numb it all.
so my thoughts can stay away.
