Will it sound better
if I tell it this way?
I know how much it matters
the words that I say
I want it scathing
derisive sarcastic
No melodrama
barren plastic
I think I'm inexorably stained
self absorbed, conceited, maimed
for everything I am to blame
Shall I flatter myself
for seeming to possess
a soul unsavable
am I cursed or am I blessed?
Born again
I seem to be
Is it God or is it me?
Too much time in shuttered rooms
Too much time I'll end it soon
I pace and pace and make my rounds
sunlight surely out of bounds
This door that opens
less than twice a day
I told you once
what did I say?
I'm sorry
This poem reminds me of how I feel every time I get depressed. It's NOT a happy poem. It's beautiful though, and flows very well. Your imagery is great. I enjoy your poems. Thank you.
