Today I Am

Today I am

Tired

because the 9 hours of sleep I got weren’t enough

to give me the motivation to start my day

because when you are

Depressed

the silence and the noise in your mind

are one in the same

and you can’t turn it on or off because you are too

Lazy

to eat or to shower or to get dressed or to focus

but it’s okay, right?

because i am

Young

and a tomorrow will (still) come

even if today, I think it is impossible

to shake this feeling of being

Lonely

because I live alone

and my cell phone is quiet

and my friends are not near but even if they were

I wouldn’t reach them

because today I am merely

Existing

and that is the best that I can do today

I hope it's just a poem and not the truth. However, you've written it so well, makes people feel every line. Nicely done.

[Ethan]

Aye good job. I especially like your last stanza and a half.

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

Well said, well said. I like how you started and ended each stanza. Tyfs!

[Addict With a Pen]

I like this one. Some days all we can do is exist, and thats okay. I loved the way you structured this poem, gives it something..
I can relate to this on some days, and I think thats why this poem feels very meaningful. Better days to come..

Quite a thought-full read... Do you ever catch a sunrise - coffee cup in hand and sip while your eyes take in ...life as only WE live it? Good moments to breathe in the mysts and taste the richness...

[Liz]

Thank you for your reviews! I'm more of a sunset kind of person, but the coffee cup is still present. I've always welcomed darkness easier than light.

[Chris]

I aim toward both - sun's rise and sets...

You take your coffee with or without?

[Liz]

Most often without (mainly because I drink so much of it), but with is a luxury I enjoy from time to time.

[Chris]

Visit the street cafes and share life as it passes...

[Tyler Oliver]

I feel for you. It's a hard age we live in.

it's quite a perfect depressive poetry you get yourself licked into. i can vividly watch the trauma of youth's pain that how badly we're all so lost & confused somewhere in own mind, for no reason. we might've lost the port of our inspiration which further preventing us not to do or achieving what we planned or dreamed of to get in life. very captivating and trendy poetry it is! nicely done.
