the driver

June 9, 2024June 9, 2024 ~ jim clayton ~ Leave a comment

depression’s my driver
that’s how it feels
an oily striver
who greases the wheels
with high grade angst
performance anxiety
dread in the tanks
wired by psychiatry
I hate the way
he wears his hat
says thas’ okay
and shit like that
I’d walk if I could
but I’m doomed to ride
he’s no damn good
but my hands are tied
