Guest Poet: “Good Health”

Good Health

 

I don’t feel like myself

I know this isn’t good health

But sometimes it feels like I can’t breathe

Like a million things are crushing me

Not physically but emotionally

 

I can’t seem to find my call

Sometimes I wish I’d just fall

Caring and trying are exhausting

I don’t give up but I feel like I’m defrosting

Slowly, making my way through life costing

 

I don’t know where my heads at I don’t know what to do

All I do is cry and feel blue

I can say I’m happy but I can say I’m lost

I’ve made certain choices and paid the cost

I don’t like feeling weak and soft

 

I’m okay but let me tell you I’m not

Eventually I’ll be happy and sadness will be forgotten
