Depression

Acrostic poem about Depression

Damned thoughts keeping me confined
Enter inside lets see what you can find
Plenty of negativity always haunts my mind
Repressed memories about mistakes
Emotions I can't express because of the stakes
Sexual thoughts roam amuck with no breaks
Starting to wonder what inside me is broke
Is it I or is it life that's the joke
Ostracized by myself that's irony
Not even wanted by myself I should fire me

Author's Note

Constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated, thanks for reading. :)

The eighth line might read better as
"Is it I or is it life that's the joke?

Going to make the change immediately, thank you for the input!

"...Ostracized by myself that's irony
Not even wanted by myself I should fire me"

Best lines. Self hatred has killed more spirits than abusers have.

Well done.

Thank you for taking the time to read both of my writings and actually commenting on them!
