Crawling

They say, "The world burns, yet you dance in it?"

By senmialPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Thoughts in my head make me sink every time

Drowning in self-pity or maybe the world is just cruel

What life has been—so distasteful

Each time I try to see the aesthetics, I see all far from beautiful

Overwhelmed by the gloom in my soul

A sad sod with a shaky tomorrow

Tribulations abound

And jubilation is never around

I try to crack a smile

So they call me a crackerhead

They say, "the world burns, yet you dance in it?"

I say, "why not?" Maybe I'll get a chance in it

Maybe I'll crawl out

Maybe I'll fall out

Maybe I'll call out

And someday, help will come; no doubt.
