Doldrums

I sit around,
Listening to sound of the rain, awake
But not fully aware of existence.
The clock making itself known,
Every fifteen minutes.
Thoughts of the past engulfing my mind
Reflections.
Voices piercing through me, screaming
Echoes.
The strings on my guitar, untuned
A prosaic melody playing in the distance.
As I waste away the day,
A day that was full of possibilities.
I try to think about sadder days...
Doldrums.

-Stryder

Oooh, I like this! Very musical and forlorn, in that good bluesy way.
