It's Hard to be Poetic

It's hard to be poetic,
   When there's chaos in your mind;
When your life's all mess and hectic,
   And your work is left behind.

It's so hard to be poetic
   when there's so much to be done!
Do this! Okay but then
   how 'bout that!? I'll say it's when
I go up and down
   and in and out
And there's so much
   to think about
Your brain freaks out
   and you just want to shout!
AaaaaAAIIIIEEEeeeeeee...!

*sigh* It's hard to be poetic
   When you're numb and depressed
When you close your eyes and
   all you think is
"I don't feel like getting dressed."

But who wants to be poetic?
   when you're nearly PsyChoPaTHiC
(and you're feeling quite pathetic)

'cause when on every single channel you get static
   Shut down is automatic;
You can wait until tomorrow to be poetic.
