A QUIET TANTRUM

Folder: 
JOURNAL #6

the new day has yet to begin

and here alone I lay contemplating such miss added things

as love and men

just now I ask myself how long has it really been

I have a pretty great life going on

I'm just not sure when I jumped in

why does the newest day always seem to flitter just

out of reach

the greatest concepts so far devised were very useful

in their ability to self teach

my unpredictableness as of late has been known to sway

me toward episodic periods of depression

resulting in emotional downfall

so drastic to the point that to get away from my

haunting thoughts I may just be forced to crawl

If only I had a private storage of mental tears

I would surely sit myself down and have a good

healthy bawl

my very inner being right now feels like its

wasting itself away to nothing at all

note, that I don't cry a lot on the whole

but my wit is wounding in its intensity

sharp and whip like quick

I own vast stock in the advantages taken from

the opinion

deadly droll and none to stick...................
