LOSER (a sonnet for mental health)

Just hit thirty, and it feels like hell

The jeans don’t fit right, nothing hurts like now,

Light another, smoke another, put it out,

Shout a little, scream a little, mental health

Awkward flirting; “ you’ve not a chance but I wish you well...”

I’m a Loser, drinking all the booze, yeah.

My fridge is half empty and I feel unwell

I feel so down and really wonder how

I’m a Loser, I never meant to use ya,

I always made a promise but I let you down

Like a l-l-l-l-loser loser.

2020 and you can really tell

These kids love politics and it’s material

Take another, like another, share it out,

Anxiety, society and "where‘s our wealth?!"

I’m looking for an answer; “there's not a chance but I wish you well...”

I’m a Loser, drinking all the booze, yeah

My fridge is half empty and I feel unwell

I feel so down and really wonder how

I’m a Loser, I never meant to use ya,

I always argued back and took it personal

Like a l-l-l-l-loser loser.

(Whistle/Instrumental)

I’m a Loser

I’m a Loser,

I’m a Loser.
