I Should Have Known


I should of known
The sun would refuse to shine in my soul
Water dries before it nourishes 
My heavy heart hastens a long journey
Amongst the tears and valleys the slow moving earth
Sphere and axis foreboding a wretched watch
Spinning wheels mark a path of…
How many mixed metaphors can there be in one poem?
I am losing grasp on my existence 
I hate where I am at
Will it get better
My exhaustion is at a level I can't contain
Sleep does no good 
Pain reaches deep
No rest even sleeping more than awake
The pain is all too real
I have been here before
This poem is more depressing than relieving
Reducing the scary truths
Ouch Ouch Ouch is all I can say.
