The Blues Poem by Don Pengilly

It’s not your fault
problems not you
It’s just that today
I feel blue
Maybe tomorrow
I'll feel better
and get into mode
be a go getter
Can't keep hiding
the way that I feel
and keep pretending
that it just isn't real
These awesome things
just have to be faced
before I go crazy
and feel so debased
Lack of motivation
Is a debilitating thing
you end up a couch tatty
you can't even sing
Of life as it is
I must get a grip
try and keep focused
for fear I may slip
Slip into a place
a place of no return
and end up suffering
an ache in my twern
