Do I Get Up Today?
A Poem About Mental Health.
"Do I get up today?"
I ask myself while my mind runs away.
"Too much to think about, and too much to do."
My mind worries.
There are dishes to do, and washing to put away;
Then there is work, that never makes my day.
So; once more I roll over,
In silent slumber,
Because; in dreams, I can run away,
Waiting for the next day;
Only to find myself asking,
"Do I get up today?"
"Do I get up today?"
As the morning breaks,
My mind questions me again;
And in my mind, the answers lie,
"No! too many appointments, too many arguments,
too many people."
So; in my deep regression,
In this dark world of depression;
I fall into slumber,
And I give in.
I do not get up today;
And the cycle repeats,
The next day.
