Another Meaningless Day Poem by Shalom Freedman

Another meaningless day
Another day without really doing anything
Another day seeking to do something and being unable to
Another day feeling lost
Another day wondering how I can begin again
Another day in which there is too much time
Another day in which I have nothing to give anyone
Another day in which I am irrelevant
Another day in which I am outmoded
Another day in which the world has passed me by
Another day in which no one calls for anything meaningful
Another day in which I feel useless
Another day in which I wonder why God ever put me in the world
Another day in which I wonder how I will get out of it
Another day in which I feel so old
Another day in which never stopping negative thoughts jab at me-

Another day in which I tell myself that by writing my feeling down
I will change everything-
Another meaningless day partly cancelled by a small poem,
Wondering what all the others do who do not write,
And have this particular partial way out
Another day writing a little ‘something'
rather than the ‘nothing' that is worse.
