Depression

Depression

A Poem by Patrick O'Neil

Spent most part of the night crying. Really don't know way? Wanting, longing, for something? Tired all the time, was late for work, again. The boss is bitching, I just smile and pretend. I hate this job, these people. Don’t know why, I haven’t left. Probably need the money, to pay, the stupid rent. Got, cut off on the freeway, had to take the long way home. If I could only afford it, this old car, really needs a fix. Its been falling apart lately. Much like me, I spouse. This place is old, rusted, cracks in every wall. There is nothing to do, nowhere to go. Just staring, at that one picture, of a time, I can barely recall. Maybe I should end it? This existence, its not live. Last time I tried, almost had it right, was only two steps, from the gates of hell. If they hadn't found me, I would, have been there now. I’m stuck in this limbo, a bottle of jack and me. If things were different, I have said that, a hundred times. If I was different, a million times. The only thing now, is this depression. Its a comfort and a pain. Eating, the little that remains. Slowly, driving me, insane.

"I have said that, a hundred times.
If I was different,
a million times.

The only thing now,
is this depression.
Its a comfort and a pain.
Eating, the little that remains.
Slowly, driving me, insane."
A well rhyming poem on a specific lifestyle...Thank you for sharing. I like the ending the most...:)
