the phone rings endlessly and I am without the enthusiasm to answer
or respond to any of your assertions regarding my current mental state
I feel good about forty-seven percent of the time, and that's not bad
occassionally I even have a good time sober
I am overwhelmed by much thought here in my chair late throughout january
my sleeping has been disturbed this way, so I have been unable to work regularly
if I don't put my best foot forward and churn out something worth mentioning
then everyone I know will have been proved right and I'm just
as illegitimate as I always have been
someone called me a drunk yesterday, and I denied it
they responded, "well you used to be"
the past two years have been rocky and mostly fruitless
something grows out of pain
life does, certainly
and here it is now!
