I’m still wearing yesterday’s clothes,
that were fresh the day before,
I cannot find the strength to stand,
let alone take myself in hand
I should kick myself, slap myself
with force, anything to keep a grip,
however, it is not through ill discipline
or the want to change
my apparel, my attire, my kitbag,
I just do not have the power
to think of good things in which
a change of clothes would help.
I’m still wearing yesterday’s clothes,
It doesn’t matter, I am still
thinking the same thoughts
I was the day before that,
when they were also fresh.
