Mop and Bucket – Thursday 31st March 2011

Mop and Bucket

i saw a couple walking arm in arm
and when i went home,
i sat down,
and i wondered when –
arm in arm
will be a feature of me
i took out the mop and bucket
and continued,
with the task in hand
clearing up the mess
and cleaning what i do not understand

i sat down on the bed
and i looked at my mental health
the mess currently in my head
look at me, look at me, it said
look where dependency has led
all i could do
was take the fragments
and the shards and look for the glue
exciting new chapters eh?
be positive about starting anew
i went to the kitchen
and took out the rubbish
and i went back to sitting
and wondering when it will change
