PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

depression can be such an all consuming emotion

yet it fills the void in the deepest part of the soul

like water makes up the bulk of the ocean

I am unable to see yet for me what tomorrow hold

and when I wrap myself up in the blankets of self pity

I become trapped within their scratchy folds

on my own instinctive judgment I am no longer so

readily reliant

so anger steps in taking its intended place

by becoming devious devastating and defiant

why I have been so heartlessly knocked down from love

and expectations protruding little peg

I do not know

relationships would be a lot simpler if every plain

Jane fell for just any old reliable Joe

but of course that's not always so

though where some prefer to stay

know that I prefer to go

and that's exactly what my mind drums

into the beat of my heart

it says leave this crippled feeling

before the rest of this network

( meaning me)

falls promptly apart............
