Not every day, just yesterday.
My life contracts
shrinks
to a single pinpoint
a narrow vision
of what is meant to be.
I can't control
the outcome.
I know things,
I've never been this healthy
or aware.
My spirit
is taking a walk in the park
while I sit alone
inside
depressed.
You say today
is meant to be enjoyed,
Why then do we work so hard?
To be wanted,
to be loved,
to be believed.

Sadness
My life contracts
shrinks
to a single pinpoint
a narrow vision
of what is meant to be.
I can't control
the outcome.
I know things,
I've never been this healthy
or aware.
My spirit
is taking a walk in the park
while I sit alone
inside
depressed.
You say today
is meant to be enjoyed,
Why then do we work so hard?
To be wanted,
to be loved,
to be believed.
