Sometimes I Just Can't Explain

A poem about my current mental state

Go to bed the night before

Mind in a happy place

Wake up in the morn

That place is gone

Brain feels scrambled

Like my breakfast eggs

Only difference

I know how those got cooked

.

When asked

I respond

“I can't explain”

Met with a blank stare

.

Is something wrong?

Why yes. There is

Can't put a finger on it

It's that simple

.

Unfortunately it's not

Nothing simple

When your mind

Is on overdrive

.

If you know

You know

Depression

Is a bitch

.

Mental health issues

I wish there weren't

Anxiety. Stress.

So many different forms

.

I hate my brain

On days like this

Wanna trade it in

For someone's who “has it all together”

.

I don't believe

There's such a person

If you think you do

There's your issue

.

My mind

Racing

Out of control

Like I'm on black ice

.

So when someone asks

For you to explain

And I can't

You either get it or you don't

.

I'll end this now

Sit and sulk

Who knows

Maybe in a minute

I'll be “better”
