Dawn & Dusk

A lament

This sucks
There’s no other way to put it
My head is pounding
I am stuck in a cesspit

Energy drained
Like water from a sink
A weight on my mind
So I can barely think

A day stretches before me
It seems so long
I can’t quite understand
How the night is already gone

Sharp needles
In my brain
Frustration and anger
Bitterness and pain

I look to the sky
For a brief glimpse of hope
Then I drag myself out of bed
And put on my raincoat
