Frustrated 2: A Truth

The truth is I am lazy
And when my vision gets hazy
I close my eyes and drift away
Because I cannot bear to stay

It pains me to stay awake
But it pains me to sleep
During the day I pretend and fake
I mourn the time I could not keep

It is so hard to do anything
Motivation is hard to come by
It truly is so frustrating
And I'm always asking why

I gave up on my dreams
I gave up on my hopes
It is not what it seems
I am bound by metal ropes

My wings have been sheared off
The feathers ruined and torn
At optimism I scoff
Because the path of pessimism is worn

And underneath this rhyme
I can only hope you hear my voice
I'm losing so much time
But it feels like I have no choice

My mind is riddled with lies
And I no longer know the truth
If I called would you hear my cries?
If I do nothing will I waste my youth?

The frustration rises in me
But it is not enough to raise motivation
Without this sickness who would I be?
Could I make use of my frustration?

But in the end it is no use
Because my weary bones need rest
And for now I don't want to be obtuse
To deny sleep would not be best
