Bad moods... they just get worse and worse.
Bad moods.
They just get worse and worse.
No one can cheer you up.
You get angry at them for trying.
Why are you mad? ... you don't know.
Anything can spark that downward spiral of angst.
Sometimes your elevator of a mood hits ground floor.
Sometimes it keeps going, past underground parking.
You upset everyone around you.
Why?
'Cause you can.
You'll do anything to pull them back to Earth;
Make them feel as bad as you.
Maybe worse.
You bite your tongue when someone cracks a pun.
You scream when someone tries to correct you.
Eventually, you shy away from everyone.
or everyone shies away from you.
...
Whichever comes first.
And just think;
Two hours ago you were happy.
