LJ Idol Week 12: Barrel of Monkeys

[eeyore_grrl]

Wonder of wonders, would you believe
words forsake me, they just leave

this could be my final bye
words are slow and make sure my tongue is tied

i want to write an awesome poem
but here i sit, alone

the emotions are just too big
sometimes depression is too hard a hole to dig

like the time i ran out of tears
the just left me there, feeding on my fears

so if this poem is made in time,
please forgive my attempt at rhyme

there is no fun, no barrel of monkeys to enjoy
more like fish in a barrel to shoot as if guns were toys

handed out like candy from strangers
sometimes it is so easy to get lost in a sea of dangers

my advice to you is my plan for me
enjoy life, break your shackles free

Sorry you are having a hard time. I've been there, even to the hospital stay. I'm finally trying my hand at writing again. Seems the meds steal the inkpot. Anyhoo... don't give up. You are never alone. :) hugggzzz

Thanks. It's harsh, but I'm getting there, back into life.

And good luck with your writing.

Thanks a lot. I still don't think rhyme is my strong point, but sometimes whatever my muse is demands it. Oddly this was a time.
