The mystery of misery

The+mystery+of+misery

Perpetual thoughts in my head, questioning if I’ll ever become fitting

I try to believe in the idea of holding onto life 

But it’s been so long 

I’m afraid the mystery in it all is gone

There, even, in my mind, lays a clock of time

Leaving me to wonder sometimes

I worry, I question

If at all, there is an ally 

I worry, I question

So I look up to the sky.

With all the mystery gone 

Was it misery all along?

It’s been so long, 

But I sure am holding on, hoping I’ll move on.
