Depressed

For when there are no words

By Laura ToddPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I want to curl up in bed 

but that would be too good for me

I could lie on the floor

on the cold tile 

in the wet shower

dripping dripping dripping

I should fix that

But I'm not very handy

I'm not very anything

Sometimes

Times like this

I wish I were very nothing

It was a very good day

So somebody told me

Somebody I trust

So I'll tell them my secret

A very good day

Is a very bad sign

All downhill from here, you see

Somebody doesn't like my attitude

But they'll catch it anyway, like the flu

And so, I ruined everything

It only takes a few words

At that, I'm very handy

sad poetry
