Feeling down



I feel like crap
No reason to get up
An extended nap
I feel like sh_t
Like I’m in a deep pit

I feel so empty
No responsibility
Feel like a hillbilly

I say I don’t care
But I need to beware
One less care can lead to another and another
Oh brother, a downhill slope
But I don’t care, nope
Stop being a dope
I’m barely alive and the sunny days pass by
A river I cry
Inside only though
I’m so tired another thing I say
It’s just another day and others wish they had more
Wish I could them mine
And move onto the great divine
Just a lonely elf
Consumed with myself
