Depression You Have Become My Obsession

Depression you have Become My Obsession©

Depression you have become my obsession of every waking moment
and oft while I sleep which is never too deep

You threw my marriage under thy carriage
and the carnage dost continue to this day I dare say.

Cloudy days bring you hither to my door and with them
mayhem that underscore how I dread thee all the more

You have taken me to thy brink such that I can no longer think
clear thoughts to lead the way to that better day

Taking pills is no thrill and makes my head fill with shrill
to avoid those awful thoughts that may end up to mine own kill

At my own hands no less, what a royal mess
is there anyone can who can bless me of this abscess

So I cower in the dark and harkens back to the good ole days
when then things were cheery with my deary

Those times when a hug and a squeeze be the cure
and sweet Louise that was for sure

Now, I must be patient or my physicians will makest me a patient be
and sit idly by as they apply their best effort...

To make me whole again

What a great read! I really enjoyed the rhyme to this poem as well as the topic. The line, "Taking pills is no thrill and makes my head fill with shrill" is a powerful line that reminds me why I never took over the counter or prescription drugs. Amazing poem.
