timmy's poetry - 52. Please Slam the Door
Where do these moods come from?
Pills are supposed to smooth the lumps
Yet sometimes the drugs don’t override
And I can feel all the painful bumps
I try so hard to control the slide
As I lose purchase on the floor
This chute has no handholds
Can someone please slam that door?
Depression is like gravity
It just wants to hold you down
I don’t want to give in, not today
Can we please make a stop midtown?
I fight back with gentle humour
As it works better than big guffaws
Though it slows the process, I know
Life today will be viewed through gauze
But I hope the fog will clear off
Cooked away by warming the soul
Getting up and getting on with it
Before melancholy can take control
