Thoughts overwhelmed <br />by the future and unknown. <br />Only that what lies ahead stresses me, <br />you can tell by my tone. <br />Year after year, <br />I end up in the same place. <br />Thus far I have accomplished <br />so so many tasks put in front of my face. <br />This life of misery <br />is no longer bothersome. <br />An yet, it's leaning more <br />towards boredom. <br />Up, down. <br />down, up. <br />So far I've looked to <br />strangers for comfort and trust. <br />Now why shouldn't I accept candy <br />from he or she <br />that is the most handy? <br />Confused by my logic <br />people have suggested suicide. <br />I'm not gonna lie- <br />so have I. <br />But besides my boldness and pride <br />I can't be that selfish <br />for there are others I need to <br />mentally and spiritually provide. <br />Is this a trait <br />of a true man? <br />Most can't fathom <br />But with the right exercise. <br />I will be the best that I can be.<br /><br />Apollo Chandler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/m-e-mental-exercise/
