The battle inside

Today was a nightmare, a horrid dream
With no hope for a return, and no ability to scream
I was abandoned by hope and harassed by reality
I was taunted by aggravation and persecuted by morality
Depression came too, and she was by far the worst
Tapping into your deepest fears, where it really hurts
I tried hard to escape, but there was no way to hide
It's hard to avoid your enemy, when it's your own mind

By far one of the best poems ive read
Really good rhyme scheme and imagery
The theme behind it is a battle most of us fight on a daily basis !! The structure was well put together and honestly the last line was great. Your mind plays you all the time and can be your greatest enemy sometimes
Well written

Goosebumps...truly feeling what you wrote.
The flow of this is perfect. How you wrote this allowed my eyes and mind to move with it to create a picture as I read.

BEAUTIFUL! The intricacy of the thoughts that this poem is trying to convey is so beautifully knitted that I am struck. Loved it!

This is an almost tactile read Vivid and powerfully expressed. It reminds me that Every battle is first of all fought and won in the mind, then victory is assured as long as we never give up!.

Mental illness is a gift that keeps on giving, even though you keep telling it to STOP. Love it.
