#Depression
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
