Ellie Anne Poet Free verse

Obstinate Passenger

Melancholy visits in waves 
It says, "hello" and digs me a grave 
A hedonistic society, I partially blame 
Why are all their philosophies 
exactly the same? 
Perhaps if I migrate, the pain
would suddenly cease
But hell's an obstinate passenger 
Hell is a disease 
My demons dance so ardently
Stepping on each other's toes 
It's when the presence of you 
Is gone, my demons start to show 
I'll feign a smile, mock the faces
of common-folk expressions 
To masquerade a morose dread, 
a gratuitous depression

Ellie Anne March 8, 2017 at 3:33 PM I apologize for the heaps of misery my writing usually bestows; sometimes I'm a happy person, but one would be foolish to deny life is not a treacherous road. I just write to express my personal travel on the perilous path.
