A dark joke and a poem about my day

[aunt_zelda]

Jokster: Did you hear about the actress who tried to kill herself today? Reese ... uh
Other person: Witherspoon?
Jokester: No, with a knife!

...
Yeah, that pretty much sums up how I'm feeling of late. Despite the fact that there was a luverly cold snap this morning and I wore TWO pairs of socks today (YAY!) I am now sick, bodily and spiritually. I won't go into detail here but ... well, I'm at a very low point right now. It doesn't help that today is September 11th and my dark mood sent me down memory lane and I couldn't stop remembering how I was in Chorus back then and how when we hit a certain note in this certain song I would see a plane smashing into one of the towers and falling papers and Osama bin Laden.

In other news, an old friend of mine is leaving tomorrow for Peru, Heroes returns in ELEVEN days, I'm planning on watching True Blood soley because I love the theme song, and Doctor Who Season 5 is coming along nicely.

Still, there IS hope, in the form of this autobiographical poem. (I date my poems, the date isn't part of the title, and the title needs work.)

It’s Not the Math Problem

 

I fold my arms upon the desk

And lay my forehead down.

This problem isn’t like the rest

My forehead forms a frown.

 

My drooping eyes soon sting with tears

My plea for help sounds weak.

I haven’t done this in many years

I cough instead of speak.

 

I remember what I cried about

Last night, and then I sigh:

The problem’s not mathematical

My intellect is fine.  

 

I exeunt from my inner-cage

And bite back a guilty sigh.

I scribble fast upon the page:

My faith restored in I.

P.S. You know what's great? Hot chocolate.

HUGS I'm really sorry that you're feeling down. If you want to give me a prompt I'll be happy to write a fic or two for you to cheer you up :) Also I like your poem. And yes hot chocolate is fantastic - I love starbucks version with the marshmellows and whipped cream on top. I really want one now dammit ;).
Hugs you again.

Thank you for the hug! Guh, wish I had appetite for hot chocolate right now ... *makes sick face* I swear my face is green-tinged ...
I like my poem too. I could really just write nothing BUT poetry and be successful, but I do love my stories. So I write poem very infrequently ... but when I do they're rather good. *beams*

If you want to give me a prompt I'll be happy to write a fic or two for you to cheer you up :)
Awwwwww, you are too kind! Hmmm ... *racks groggy brains*
I'd love something cracky. There isn't enough Doctor/Master crack, and it would be great to laugh at something because it's funny instead of because I took cold medicine and hadn't eaten for a day and a half.

Oh, thank you, PJ-kun! You are so ... nice. There should be more people like you out there.

As soon as I'm done with it and the two HP fics I promised someone, I'd be be glad to do another for you if you want.
That's ok ... you just concentrate on the fics you've got now and I'll try and stagger through episode 1. I tend to have good creative juices flowing when I'm ill ...
