#Depression
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
