lethargic
and sloth like
is how
MY
ABNORMALITIES
NORMALITY
makes me feel
yes …. carrying
the weight of my
indisposition
can become so tiring
a voice within
whispers
the option
“give up ….
RIP forevermore
bring the torment
the trials and tribulations
of the deep dark pit
to an end”
now don’t get freaky
on me people
’cause I bring this
to light
out of the darkness
so my struggle
my way of coping
as a functional
and productive
every day
human being
in society
even though
I’m a depressive ~
I’m just offering here
a method
that may be of benefit
to those similar
to me …..
I’m a survivor
’cause I’ve
learned to accept
this kind of voice
going on
in my mind
as part of
the normal process
of me being me
MY
ABNORMALITIES
NORMALITY
regardless what others
may or may not think
as the balloon is let go
by the little boy
to aimlessly
drift in the sky
I have let go of
the socially embedded
predisposition
and inhibition
that emerges guilt ~
instills shame
and I just let
the notion
the option of
life’s end
float around
and around
in my head
as the normal
minutia
plain old
thought stuff
not overly
focused on …..
I let it be in peace
as nothing more
nor nothing less
peace out
