On some days you just don’t have it in you to interact…

Today I don’t want to talk,

Don’t want to smile,

Don’t want to act…

Just leave me alone,

I cannot get up,

No, today I don’t want to face the world,

Call it lethargy, call it inertia,

Call it sheer laziness or depression.

Just don’t ask me to be polite today,

Just don’t ask me to be bright today.

Leave me alone,

Just leave me alone today.

I know I am no island…

But please let me be with myself for one day….

    I sometimes feel that way, too. It’s a natural sway of mood being a human. Nice poem. You were able to express yourself clearly.

    Nicely written, we do all have days like this when all we want is the whole world to leave us alone. Thanks for sharing.

    It is a long time since I felt like that but we all do at times. Nicely written.

    I know this feeling. You express it well though your words which makes it an enjoyable poem to read.
