Depressed

Excerpt from "Simply Poetic"

By Alexis LarivierePublished 5 years ago • 1 min read

Rain rain go away

Come again another day

The dirty dishes are piling up

And really I don’t give a fuck

The laundry basket is running over

It’s Tuesday night, and I’m barely sober

The horizontals need dusting

I need a shower and this hair needs brushing

The floors need sweeping

But I can’t, I’m busy sleeping

All seems too much

I’m out of touch

My friends reach out

But I just pout

Nothing feels right

Inside my mind

Chemicals in my brain

Imbalanced, a shame

Doc gives me pills

To give me thrills

It takes some time

Before I’m feeling fine

Depression

Suppressed

I like me better

With life’s less displeasure

I feel success

When I’m less depressed
