I’ve Let Myself Down

The day has been dismal
I’m glad that it’s gone
It’s cold in the room
And I’m here all alone

It’s dark but, no matter
I’ll turn on the light
It seems to do nothing
To chase off the night

I’m sitting here lonely
The sadness is near
It sits right beside me
Singing into my ear

The whispers get to me
The sadness takes hold
I feel so unwanted
I feel so damn old

The bottle’s now empty
I must go to bed
My head will be pounding
My eyes will be red

The poems I write
When I’m all alone
Are always much darker,
More somber in tone

I’m so tired of treading
I feel myself drown
It’s easy to sink
When you let yourself down
