Sometimes

There are in between places 
that we deem as our own 
the slit angered crevices 
of our own regretful drone 

we often do it right 
but sometimes, we do it wrong 
ripping out our nametags 
we opt to live in poverty 
of thought and word 

Climbing on the wild horse 
of depression when we ought to be 
forgiving ourselves instead...

"the wild horse of depression" - nice. This is exactly right, a fantastic reminder that we can do more with ourselves, and in a much happier way.
