Just Feeling Down


from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

I am feeling down tonight,
not because I have reason
but because I have no reason not to!
Responsibility is a burden
but is a load, which I shoulder;
knowing that if I don’t
no one else will!
Tonight though, it seems heavier;
the normal chip –
a mortuary slab!
I don’t know if I can
carry it much further on my own
without dressing it with the meat
that it yearns for -
and needs; to become functional.
It’s cold and clinical and
serves a purpose;
unlike me!
Now excuse me, while
I cry…

I get days like that too. Probably shouldn't be commenting.

This is so sad to read, Chris. Your posts are normally so cheerful and humouros but we all have days like this. Sometimes crying helps, even if you might feel stupid for crying for no real reason. Feelings are very confusing so might even find youself happy again, later today. Hope you feel happier soon.

Those days, they seem so bloomin' bleak, which is why I value the silly moments in life. Hope you find your smile again Chris atb lenax

Jeez Magic; GOOD LUCK! Fingers crossed but I don't think you will have a problem; your an extremely bright young woman (from where I am sitting). Hope it all goes brilliantly; I'll have the 'Champers' on ice ;)

chris I hope you've cheered up since this? I know how you feel about responsibility- it is a bugger sometimes. I have to go home tomorrow and pick mine up again. anyway - it was good, and congratulations on the cherry!
