Lacklustre mood


Deflated, deflated and vaguely irritated
At my completely lacklustre mood.
Nothing is ‘wrong’ yet nothing is right,
Darkness is starting to brood.
I don’t like this feeling that’s slowly creeping further into my psyche.
Preying on my gaiety, honing on the joviality,
Staining and bleaching the brightness,
Until they are dreary
and heavy
and lethargic
and dull.

Part of me surrenders to the gloom,
Relishing the self-wallowing, self-pitying state of boredom.
Selfishness avails in this castaway psychological island.
Dark clouds constantly loom above.

Sadness leads to madness and makes you feel drabness.
Ride the crest of these choppy waves until the storm passes.
Once the sea has settled, set your anchor and let the breeze comb your hair.
Stillness. Peaceful.
