In the Doldrums

In the doldrums where life is dull
The world seems to stand still
And ache with a kind of restlessness
Like a itch that cannot be satisfied
It rubs you raw but there is no relief
You twist, you turn, you try to make a change
Anything to break free of this holding pattern
A kind of limbo that sucks out the light.
