Long-Lost Pal

A poem about picking yourself up when you hit an all-time low then subsequently begin a long search to find someone….. 

I began to look like a fool

My faked happiness only for show

Hiding behind that warm glow

Was a pain

A strain

On all areas

I struck it over a week ago

My wall

I decided to stand tall

To rise from the depths

Of my two pools

Of depression

And exhaustion

A visit to my GP

Unanchored me from

The sea

I am now embarking on the long road

To search for my long-lost pal

He is in there somewhere

My Wife will agree

He is lurking

Probably still smirking

Laughing

Awaiting to be found

My long-lost pal,

Me.
