If I wasted talent
Could I do without it
I strongly doubt it
It's what keeps me grounded

Bitter from a lover past
It's eaten me alive
It's taking all my energy
It's taken all my drive

I can't seem to move past it
It's just another facet
Of the world in which I live in
I cannot seem to grasp it

Life kicks you when you're down
When no one is around
The words coming from my mouth
They don’t make a sound

Knock me down to the ground
Get up and try again
Knock me down to the ground
Get up and try again

Giving up is easy
A sunny morning keeps on teasing
The start of a new day
Just who am I appeasing

Is it for ones self
It has me contemplating
Finding what's in store
And is it a life worth saving

Shall I carry on
Going through the motions
One day after another
Am I to be the chosen
I write depressing poems. It's what I do. One day I hope to write about happy times. But I fear my fear
