Is the world getting fuzzy
Or is it just my eyes
When I say I’m doing fine
Is it truth or is it lies
In some places, I’m going bald
In others, I’m too hairy
Life used to be a lot of fun
But now it’s kind of scary
My calendar is far too full
I can’t do anymore
But god forbid I clear it out
Doing nothing is a chore
This growing list of things to do
Can’t handle sitting still
I want to have good mental health
Without taking a pill
Each time I pass a mirror
I see someone else’s face
Why’s everything’s where it should be
But feels out of place
Things have become so brittle that
They break when they should bend
To the outside I am “go go go”
But inside want the end
I remember days when I was young
Back then I was much stronger
The sun is gone, it’s time for bed
But I stay up a little longer
Thank you so much for reading. If you liked my work, and want to support it, the best ways are financial support, spreading the word, or following along on email or Bluesky.
