Simple Task

Do you ever have those days when you think you have it together?

Like you’ve planned out your outfit and exactly what you’re going to do?

And then you realise that you don’t have any clothes cause despite having put clothes in the washing machine you haven’t actually turned it on in weeks?

And you think to yourself, why the fuck is it so difficult for you to complete a simple task?

You think…I can do this.

It’s easy.

You go back to the machine, cause at this point you’ve walked away.

You approach it.

*SIGH*

It’s okay.

It’s a simple task.

You take a quick glance at the basket.

It’s piled high with clothes.

Not literally.

It should be though…

With the amount on the chair in your room.

You’re practically drowning in dirty clothes.

You only need to wash them and sort them.

It’s a simple task.

Just wash them and sort them.

Sort them into separate piles.

Keep and pass on.

It’s not that hard.

Just get it done.

It’s a simple task.

I dunno if this is a poem or what but I wrote it the other day when I was feeling especially stressed out. Since then, I’ve done some of my washing…..mostly pants-but it still feels like I’ve got a mountain to conquer. And conquer, I will. Hopefully.

I hope y’all are having a wonderful worry-free Tuesday! 😊

Depression: A Poem

At first, it crawls up your spine,

like a bone-chilling breeze.

Then, it crashes over your head,

a tidal wave made of bricks,

it snaps your neck.

Leaves you broken and bleeding.

But not dead.

Not yet.

There are people all around,

it’s just a normal day.

They can’t see the devastation,

they can’t see the wreck.

You don’t look any different,

your just the same.

It seems.

I wrote this last year but I felt like sharing it today because why not? 

I’ve got quite a few poems that I’ve written and have always wanted to share, so what better way than this.

Prepare yerselves fer some emotional poetry!

I hope y’all are well and are having a lovely night, morning, day and evening! 🙂
