Life's Repeat

A short poem about some parts of my life. First time writing poetry.

I once was a fighter against myself
only to find that it was useless.
I thought I'd make myself a little brighter,
only to find that it was ridiculous.

What a way to start a day!
Rain and thunder every time!
The chimes were just as dreadful
as the grime in the edges of my mind!

I say, "I'm getting tired of this way!"
So I left and went away,
to a house for a time.

I felt great! I felt control!
But all things got to go!
I've got a gift,
but it just made a short shift

Uh oh! It's time to go!
To another place!
It's such a repetitive one,
but it's my own life!
