Some Days

Some days, he just wants to lie naked

in his bedroom, feeling jaded

with no care in the world, he’s all faded

the numbness of his heart isn’t obliterated

Some days, he smiles and laughs

with a precision that clouds the sadness

but you still witness it through his wrath

when the grey mornings swallow all prowess

Some days, he writes

hoping to stay relevant, hoping to last

his poems come out dry, not always a delight

but he perseveres, trying to record everything that will suffice

He reads when the sun shines

ultimately illuminating his restless soul

Some days he gets closer to happiness

when death seems nearest.
