Dragging On

The weekends are over
Before they start
And I'm just as tired by Monday.
The weeks moan and drone
And drag along without change,
A skipping record playing the
Same monotonous tune
Again and again.
I haven't the will or the courage
To jump into the fray,
Even as my spirit screams it's waning..
I search beyond the yawn
And see only more of the same
How long can I endure
Before the lonely madness
Manifests into a living insanity...
If you are out there,
Please save me from myself....

I think many of us have been here before. Maybe not to this extreme, but I think I feel the opening lines every single Monday that I’m not on vacation.
Sometimes you just need to get all those feelings out on paper, but I hope you’re able to find help or pull yourself out. On the bright side, you have a gift with language even if it’s not the happiest of topics.

However hard people might try to help you come to life, you neeed turn around and look at yourself in a mirror. Note your exterior Self: human and alive. Really? Or are you a delicate, unwatered plant that is quickly dying.. dead.. gasping.. gone? Is as easy as that, here today, gone tomorrow. Why not GRAB THE CHANCE and skip, hop and never play ring a ring of roses. You've surrendered self to nothing; ceded life to the remains of a hearth. Is that what your fine writing implies?

You can write with such eloquence - what a waste of creative skill if your works becomes such a tragedy.

the circle of discontent tied me in knots of repetitive negative loops.
i woke to the habits of my thoughts.
Now, I try to throw poetry to disrupt the cycle.

You are in a rut. Stuck in the same old groove like a broken record. You've got to do something about it. If you wait for someone to save you, you could be waiting forever :) A sort of cry for help poem. I empathise.

I've been reading all these new poems you've shared recently. I thoroughly enjoy them. I won't leave a review on all of them, but I liked every one of them. Thank you for sharing.
