Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

The 100 Year War

The 100 Year War

I rise
Mighty and strong
Armor plated and ready for battle
I shall behead the infidel
I shall conquer the evil doers
I am a warrior
Both great and bad

I am a warrior, and
I am sad
Tears fall upon my sword 
I know not why
This great warrior why do I cry?

I can battle an army and rise the victor
Yet I can not rise out of me bed
I am sad and lethargic
I am weak in the knee
I am depressed
To much sadness in me

Lovers a plenty
Conquered lands and treasures
I have it all
Yet the sadness invades
The depths of me soul

I give my heart to all that I love
I feed the poor
From the spoils of my wars
Yet here I am, I think a kind soul
Burdened in darkness
Depression is my hole

My love I know this seems bizarre
You have all you wish, a rising star
A Black Knight with honors flying high
To you I say forgive me please
For battles you never shall see

I lie down
In our garden of roses
Thorns to make me feel more than I do
For the darkness robs us both
For me to feel you

Good by my love

Notes: Anyone for has suffered depression, knows that a 100 year war is nothing  compared to battling depression.
