Blinking cursor on the screen
Hidden message for me to glean
***
There are times when I am happy
I walk down that road when it is open
***
And then, the roadblock closes me off
I have to turn away or stand still waiting
That is when I begin hating
Myself
***
The sadness always comes
A most dependable part of life
***
I don’t want this, but there it is
Claiming me again
***
And then, melancholy rushes in
I wave and say hello old friend
That is when I continue doubting
Myself
***
I rose again this morning
Bedhead crowning my skull
***
I felt a little better after a soul-crushing day
Chased my dreams away
***
And then, I shuffle on and the ache sets in
I fall a little more in shadows
That is when I continue performing
My duties
