I Need Energy

I have chronic fatigue
And overwhelming lethargy
What I truly need
Is some rejuvenating energy

I lay in bed
Like a beached whale
Please listen
To my sad tale

I languish each day
I feel like a prisoner
Trapped in my body
I don’t feel like an achiever

I long to run around
And play
It doesn’t look like
I can do it today

I am very
Lackadaisical
My problems
Are psychological

Frequently I feel
Down in the dumps
I fight every day
And take my lumps
