Sometimes


SOMETIMES

Sometimes summer comes knockin' on your door 

but you don't have time to answer it.

Sometimes spring went by really fast 

and it seemed you skipped summer altogether.


Do you know 

what that's like?


Sometimes I wonder what makes time fly 

for I know I wasn't having fun.

Sometimes I remember you're all out there 

and I'm sitting here, staring.


Do you know 

what that's like?


Sometimes I look at people laughing, 

having fun, wishing I wasn't blue.

Wishing I wasn't jealous.

Wishing I wasn't me.

Wishing I could make you smile again,

drawing pictures of the moon.

  1. Wait, what? Your new missus isn't smiling for you anymore? What? Why? How? In other news, I thought you died and sent your bluesberries up in heaven to bathe in the eternal sun... Wish I could skip summers like you, I hate them with deep passion... the negative one, not the positive deep passion I have for Henry Cavill, Leo Suter and Sam Reid... not that you needed that cleared up...

    1. I'm just so tired, is all. been ill for over a decade and being surrounded by professional don't-knows and don't-cares doesn't help. Good to hear from you, though, Dezzmeister. It's just been one of those summers. Work. But the new Missus has been great.

  2. My wife says I'm never really happy either. Sorry it's been so blue.
    And still waiting to see if our summer will ever start to wind down.

    1. Well, I guess that makes two of us, Alex. The won't goes down the drain isn't helping either. I still remember 2020-2021.

  3. It’s been a hellish summer for me, so I understand. Let’s hope for an upturn soon.

  4. Sometimes I dream I can fly
    then I realize I have no wings
    time it just keeps ticking bye
    who knows what fall might bring

    Sometimes, I sing the summer blues
    I guess I could be mellow yellow
    wishing for things that never come true
    staring at the stars, resting upon my pillow

    Sometimes, I think time is a fickle thing
    there never seems to be enough of it
    take each day slow, see what it brings
    perhaps, you’ll be less blue for a bit

    Truedessa…..thinking of you..

  5. I've been in a depressed slump for the past month so I get being blue. I hope that things start to look up for you because feeling down is not fun and I don't wish that on anyone. I hope you find something to smile about today, Blue.

    1. I wish you couldn't relate, Mary, but sometimes things don't go the way you want them to. All I've been doing all summer is work, work, work. What with everything being so darn expensive these days, I figured a vacation is out of the question. Just ain't in the cards this year. Never been anywhere since 2019 either. O well..

      Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate hearing from you.

  6. My husband battles depression, anxiety, and has ADHD so I "kinda" understand where you're at, Blue. I don't suffer from those things other than the occasional down day, but watching him try to fight through the mental shit is hard. I'm sorry you are in the mucky waters right now. Big hugs being sent your way ♥

    1. So sweet of you to say that, Theresa. Your husband is one lucky guy. I know I'm lucky that way, too.
