Not single

Another mental illness related poem unfortunately...

No I am not single

I have depression as a wife

Sucking away my life 

Misery as my mistress 

Never keeping her distance

From depression

Happiness is the love that was lost

On my soul the memory is embossed

Anxiety is the woman in which I have  constant flings

That don’t mean a thing 

They have no reason

Though they are constant 

So no

I am taken

You must have been mistaken

The honesty in this poem come shining through. These issues are difficult to deal with and can make a relationship complicated.

I like how you wrote this in away that is serious but lighter as well. You have done and amazing job showing the emotion and how hard of a struggle it can be for a person coping with these illness to function within a relationship.
