The Four Horsemen of Madness

Hello Sadness, 

You're here again bringing coldness.

Tell me how can I escape this loneliness?

I want to be happy but you drove me to madness.

Hello Anxiety,

Have you come to keep me company?

I'm happy because I think I'm worthy.

For I am extremely sad and lonely.

Hello Depression,

I think you have accomplished your mission.

Bringing me down and keep me in prison.

Now I cannot feel this word called frisson.

Hello Society,

My greatest enemy.

Thank you for all the judgements you gave me,

For I have learned to trust nobody.

The speaker seems to be dealing with some formidable demons. Still, it's probably not wise to blame "society" totally, because there are two sides to every issue. Beyond that, assuming a victim mentality only keeps one from dealing successfully with sadness, anxiety and depression.

This is a very strong poem that describes depression and all the anxieties associated to it. I have had to deal with it most of my life so this poem really felt so relatable to me. Thank you for sharing your poem with us.
