Revenge

The smell floods my veins I ache and cringe My body flails and strains Depression seeks its revenge These pills can't hold it any tighter If I try i just might explode So much builds up just like a fighter My weaknesses my body has showed It will use this against me I tried to shut it out It wasn't enough, I was too weak All I have left is to plea But I have no voice to shout I tried my best to fight It wasn't enough Now I hide in the night This game is getting too rough I tried to feed it pills My body now lies in a trench I just wanted some thrills Now depression seeks its revenge

Good write, you just spit these poems out one after another depicted all aspects of life. I hate depression, It scares me the way I have no control over my emotions. When it comes I just stay on my knees praying until it goes away and He always answers my pleas.
