Depression

DEPRESSION 
Every day is a struggle and I don't care  
Perhaps I am not alone but always feel that way
Relapse happens all to easy and so easy to give in
Even my friends pretend to understand and I smile a knowing smile 
So maybe they are not worth keeping, then I would be alone 
Sometimes this is how I feel not a good state of mind 
In my own space I would always like to be 
Only recently I think with a clear head
Never knowing if I am going to have a good or bad day

Acrostics are difficult forms. I'm sure you'd feel freer with free verse.

It's hard going through a patch like this - but you seem to be dealing with it! Best wishes, Liz
