Predisposed to sadness
is a mood around today
the impulse of responsiveness
where bad vibes find a way
of saddening the individual
who demonstrates that pain
Creates a kind of pathos
where things just feel in vain
an overwhelming feeling
That harbours doubt and woe
Unconscious to ones surroundings
a bit of a shit show
everything is going wrong
uninspired are thee
neglected and spiritless
stagnating actually
you need some life breathed into you
nirvana equally
other people seem well- pleased
in their lives compared to thee
an illness gets the better
angst ridden how you feel
victimized and martyred
by the government unreal
the hopelessness of worrying
stuck at home all day
on the rack in torment
really at the way
harassment and grimness
has taken over life
the bitter pill is everywhere
Its gruelling all the strife
and nothing really joyous
no blessings around
old wounds feel reopened
just covering old ground
and no consolation
no break in the cloud
nothing to relieve the burden
Apparently the crowd
neglecting the intensity
sees alacrity
further from your demeanour
than it is your want to be
and so the need for laughter
actually comes to mind
a dose of exultation
if you could only find
looking in the mirror
and laughing once or twice
it may broaden your outlook
and maybe even thrice
You pinch your cheeks, they redden
a blush of joy returns
You are sitting there
Upon your own
with a feeling that just burns
and have waved away despair
feeling sorry for yourself
not as important as before
the languor and fatigue
is up and gone
and you feel sure
the wit that came to visit you
a kind of pleasantry
forced a glint of laughter
a cosmic turn now be
Brightening your outlook
the lockdowns of before
largely they had gone away
and now you could ignore
despondency and pessimism
Lately on tv
fear mongering and fake news
Switching off the BBC
Already you feel better
and £159 better off
to go towards your higher gas bills
