I feel like I'm chewing
Gum
That's lost it's flavor.
It's tough,
And my jaw hurts,
I want to stop
But I can't.

It's bitter,
And leaves a funny taste
In my memory,
A layer
Of unfortunate tang
On my good days.

The problem with
My chewing depression
Is I need
A monumental
Change of mental state,
But I don't have the emotional
Energy
For a
*******
Epiphany.
