Michael Hayward Poet I do not know?

The I

This depression got me so low
I hope that it won't show
Today I will put on the most beautiful smile
may this last day be worthwhile

I'll meet and greet and be "unknowingly" discreet
I'll say hello, hi and that's so sweet
Like always I would act as if nothing's wrong
This past life will be over before long

I have nothing to live for, all hope lost
I am a failure, all of THIS at what cost?
Not even the dearest around me can see
What ugly there is within ME

All I hear inside of my head
Is I'm weak, I'm worthless, I'm.....*shot goes off* DEAD

This subject is very close to me, since I suffer from clinical depression with anxiety disorder. This very sensitive subject. I don't know how you feel about it, but why not write in Free Verse? It gives you much more versatility, and there won't be forced rhyme :)
