A Beast By Any Other Name...

I think I'd like to go to bed
And stay there for the day
Wallow in self pity
Have courtship with dismay

I think I'd like to drink it in...
The sorrow and the 'pain'
For every ounce of feeling this
I surely must make 'gain'

I shed a tear...from time to time
And that I can't deny
Just do me one small kindness...
Don't ever ask me why

I won't give in completely
I've never been that sort
When sadness threatens inner will
I build a stronger fort

So, please leave me now to grovel
As the blackness takes it's toll
It may nibble at the shell...
But it'll never take my soul !

I am sure we have all been there, it is common to us all.
No one is immune to these feelings, good descriptions here.

Scans? lol I like this too, it is pitiful to the heart but has great courage in it's attempts to pass on with a great rhyming scheme, it almost dances through the pain and I love the attitude in the fourth stanza....Don't ever ask me why, is the question we all want answered, closure is everything and without it....life stings.

smiling at you

Tai, and welcome to our poetic sanctuary in tranquility bay

This scans really well and I enjoyed reading it, I felt a sense of irony?
