Can’t Seem To...

I can’t seem to focus,

I can’t seem to think;

a thought that is floating

just seems to sink.

I can’t seem to make sense

of the words in my head.

I can’t get to grips with

the news that I dread.

I can’t seem to smile

and I just don’t know why

all I can do now

is sit here and cry.

I can’t find the words,

to express how I feel;

with this situation

becoming so real.

I can’t find my refuge,

I can’t seem to see

that whatever happens

what will be will be.

Hang in there, Hull, but I know the feeling, sometimes

This could easily be me talking, Hully. I've a terrible case of post-holiday blahs. No interest in doing anything constructive.

I've definitely got a severe case of the 'downs' right now, Bill. Thanks for reading.

I can relate to this, Hully. I always feel down at this time of year, my mind is foggy and my energy and motivation depleted. A very honest, and well penned poem that I suspect will resonate with many.

I think you've perfectly put the feeling into words here, Hully. Don't get too distraught, it'll pass in time, but it's a horrible experience when you're in it. Maybe time outside with the cats or a new book will help ease you away from the rainy coast to the majestic blue yonder. The wind of inspiration will wrap around you again!
