Lily Mayfield Poet Rhyme

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

Michael Smith March 19, 2012 at 8:21 PM 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.
