Lethargic

Lethargy sweeps over me

A tunnel filled with fog

My limbs won’t move, can’t hit my groove

I’m stuck here like a log

At times like these,

I Feel the need

To escape this drudgery

But times goes by

and so I try

To maintain some levity

Life seems full

of endless days

All at once depression hits

I must fight back, get up

and move around

Because the fog worsens

the more I sit

I need to hit the ground

I’ll take a walk

and play some tunes

Confront the chores

I’m frankly fleeing

Take action now

Take control of me

try to enjoy just being

Emotions will swirl up

and crash back down

like a roller coaster ride

only I can choose my path

This truth is bonafide.
