Depression (Revised)

Created: 1/9/2003

Depression runs through me,
Like a river wide through a stream.
Depression runs through me,
So much, I can no longer scream.
You're the cause of my depression.
It rings in my ears louder than
Percussion.
It makes me as dull as a person with a
Concussion.
Depression has brought death to me,
I can no longer think,
I can no longer see.
I don't care anymore what life throws at me,
Because depression has brought death to me.
What do I care, what girls you see?
Why should I care,
With death upon me?
Goodbye, world.
Aloha, Adios.
Falling into an endless void of darkness.
Depression.
Death.
Goodbye.

My first poem of the New Year. I usually think of poems while I lie in bed awake. It's no different with this one. It came to me this morning, my body was asleep, but my mind was awake. I went over my poems in my mind, and I came across "Depression." I kept thinking of a new version and decided to type it out. Of course, the problem is that whenever I think of a poem this way, I always forget it before I can finish writing it. I'm sorry. But I guess this is the revised version of the revised version because I can't remember the original revised poem I went over in my mind.

*NOTE*: Amateur poetry...go figure.
