Doom

Why was I born so maudlin? 

Always thinking the worst, 

I am cursed, 

I feel too much. 

Why can I never live in the moment? 

Be thankful for everything I’ve got? 

I fought so hard to be here, 

To stay here, 

Yet the negativity is eating me away from here. 

If only I could say goodbye to the bad thoughts, 

Banish them, 

All of the things I don’t want. 

Yet here I am once again, 

Sinking in my own gloom, 

I am smothered in doom, 

I made it for myself, 

Yet I cannot seem to rid myself of it.
