Sick and Tired

Sick and tired of the daily drudge

Swallowed within the mires of cynicism

Chaos has become me

A constant urgency, tearing through

Unsettles the nerves

Time flashes by unnoticed

Until all stops

And time crashes to a halt

Weariness catches me as I emerge from the first real slumber

Procrastination begins

And the dark clouds come rolling in

Claustrophobic, suffocating in this never ending struggle

With this endless weight, tied

Like an albatross around my neck

It never relents

I exist only for the sake of existence

Paralysed with apathy, the mind filled with dread

Struggling to raise enough will to move from slumber

Eyes still red, heavy with poison

This is not living, but waiting for death

This is not breathing, but suffocating under a glut of despots

Sentiment is lost in a time that knows only greed
