Life in a nutshell
Isn’t much fun
There’s no room to stretch
In this conundrum

The air is heavy
This place is stale
The rent’s pretty cheap
Over here in hell

The anxiety’s rough
The depression is worse
All alone in here
My jail, this curse

Just in case
You haven’t guessed
This nutshell’s my mind
It’s all that’s left.

Better to die, and sleep
The never-waking sleep, than linger on
And dare to live when the souls life is gone.

LOL, a light-hearted look in the mirror.

Wow! pretty powerful, T. This reminds me of Hamlet-'O God! I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space.....
