I’m a walking disappointment with an aroma of failure
Visiting the same mental houses carrying on the same behavior
Passing the same streets through the same damn town
Nothing at the moment can stop my soul from going down
Mornings are the hardest as my issues come flooding my mind
Searching for a firm dry place has become harder to find
Bottomless negative thoughts latch on whenever it senses I’m trying
If only the world could see that inside there’s a battleground
Attempting to overcome that which keeps me down
Carlos, extremely powerful piece that has the ability to speak directly to the soul. Without a doubt, life can make many of us feel just as you describe, even though we strive to do our best to remain resilient, motivated, and determined. And in all honesty, it is a tough battle for us to face. So, thank you for the realism you bring to this poem by shining light on the internal battles and conflict that many times live within.
