As My World Turns
Poem written by

Woke up today

That’s a good start

Sun is shining amid the blue sky

I raise my coffee and ask, “Why”

My cup is empty

And so it begins

Another day of hopelessness

As I stare at the abyss before me

People heading off to work

Others sending their kids off to school

The hustle and bustle of another day begins.

I raise my EMPTY coffee cup and ask, “Why”

“Don’t worry. Be happy.” people say

“Be glad for another day.”

Depression, despair, hopelessness surround

The empty shell of my life

The world turns passing me by

Another day older

Another day IAMicried
