My Unoriginality Is Exceptionally Depressing
By Intoxicating Delirium
My unoriginality is exeptionally depressing
I wish I had a pencil
So I could erase my words
I like the way they flow better
With lead rather than ink
Sometimes I feel bipolar
But, I keep my grip on reality
Just enough to keep
Me from medication
Oh, how I'd love
Some medication
Insanity just beyond
My ever extending grasp
I haven't quite reached
That level of crazy
Worthy of the key
To my coveted switch
I'm just another
Shade of grey
Between the
Blacks and whites
I set my standards too high
For this life to live up to
My need for surreality
Is fed by mediocrity
Dulling the fire
That keeps me
Putting one foot
In front of the other
I feel like I can't keep up
Yet I sit here wasting time
Writing a bunch of
Jumbled unoriginality
I'm done...

I love your words they make such great since to me. I've always tried to comment back on your work but with life sometimes it gets hard. With this poem it has touched me almost as I wrote it myself . I wish too I can rewrite the words on this page...... I just want to thank you for this read it's helped me to find myself again as a poet.

I really like the lines "I haven't quite reached That level of crazy Worthy of the key To my coveted switch I'm just another Shade of grey", you captured a lot with a few words there. I think this flowed very well and look forward to seeing more free verse from you. Nice job! Ciao, T/S

I have no idea what the comment under me is talking about. The poem is good and a release of expression. You were straight forward in your context and I can relate to this borderline insanity.
