I Don’t Feel Like Functioning Today
A Poem | Samantha Steiner
I don’t feel like functioning today
So I’ll ignore all my calls
Until they fade away to my voicemail
Which I’ll never even bother to check anyway
I don’t feel like functioning today
So I think I’ll stay in the clothes
That I wore
From the night before
And maybe even the day before that
Wrinkled clothes and a dirty tee
Yet none of this is new to me
I don’t feel like functioning today
My hair is an unwashed mess
It’s all greasy
It just kinda sits there all limp
And framing my face
I don’t feel like functioning today
So I am going to sleep
Until my body is sore
And my restlessness screams,
“It’s time to wake up.”
Until I miss my alarm,
An appointment or two,
And almost every single meal
Until my bladder is aching
Maybe I’ll just sleep my life away
I don’t feel like functioning ever again
And I’m not even dealing with Bipolar Depression or Mania
Maybe I’m just anxious and overwhelmed
Too many problems are thumping through my head again
