The Weary Will of a Dreary Survival

Aren’t you tired of being invisible? 

Trying to make them laugh with you 

so that, they won’t notice how you’ve been miserable! 

Aren’t you tired of laughing at yourself? 

While you put away all your other needs, 

including both sex and intimacy, up on a dusty shelf!? 

Aren’t you tired of struggling to survive? 

While everyone seems to grow younger and more alive... 

Aren’t you angry your happiness always seems to take a dive?! 

Aren’t you upset that chances keep passing you by? 

Just because you have a hard time getting in the mood, 

You instead drown your sorrows in an extra serving of fattening food! 

But when does this pity-party finally come to an end? 

And when does the sultry goddess begin to defend, 

What’s left of her, in this ugly engorged body, 

and the shivering heart within, that’s slowly 

transmuting into stone, soon to be frozen, ice-cold & forlorn.
