Can't Get Up...?
This poem, can't get up...? tells of a depressed person going beyond - I won't get get up, - It tells the depression story's full truth...can't get up...?
Slept in today, took a nap
And I still missed half the class
I am trying so hard, physically pushing myself up
I can only raise my body this much
When I tell people this, they think it’s an act
They say, "Yeah, I’ve had that"
When did this nightmare begin?
Better yet, when will it end?
I am trying to do what I can from this couch
But I am in and out, too sleepy to be of any account
Problem is I don’t look sick, I need to be beaten with a bobby stick
Then when blood is drooling down from my mouth and my lips
It may give you a clue things are not what you knew
"Hey, People, You Ain’t Got A Clue"
"HELLO"
"I Am Standing Right Here In Front Of You"
Someday the pain will end
It must, it owes me that much
Tell me where this life begins
And I will go there
And I still missed half the class
I am trying so hard, physically pushing myself up
I can only raise my body this much
When I tell people this, they think it’s an act
They say, "Yeah, I’ve had that"
When did this nightmare begin?
Better yet, when will it end?
I am trying to do what I can from this couch
But I am in and out, too sleepy to be of any account
Problem is I don’t look sick, I need to be beaten with a bobby stick
Then when blood is drooling down from my mouth and my lips
It may give you a clue things are not what you knew
"Hey, People, You Ain’t Got A Clue"
"HELLO"
"I Am Standing Right Here In Front Of You"
Someday the pain will end
It must, it owes me that much
Tell me where this life begins
And I will go there
