your dose of prose: depression

A poem a day to keep brain rot away

Join me as I attempt to create a poem a day... whether awesome, bawdy, corny, dreadful, entertaining, fabulous, gross or hilariously hokey, I will try to string together everything from couplets to limericks - just for the fun of fiddling with words!

May 3rd, 2012

Today is quite a special day. I have actually reached the one year mark. I posted my first poem on May 3^rd, 2011. I have had a great time doing this. It has basically become a habit and I don’t really want to stop. So, I am going to continue this thread because I have enjoyed it so much. It’s true that most of the poems were terrible. Some were good (or at least I thought so!) but mostly they were a reflection of something I either saw that day, thought of, felt or heard. In any case, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have. Here’s to letting the word out – come what may!

Split personality

Can you show both sides of you
To everyone you meet?
The cheery, positive, happy one
Where everything is great
Or the moodier, stark, depressive one
Where you question everyone's fate?
Alas, the world knows but one
As it would never stand
To let the darkness out to play -
No point in giving it a hand

Rain clouds

Pitter-patter is the sound
Of dreams being flushed under-ground
A cascade of tears to wash a face
Tired of smiling, of keeping pace
A nonchalant way of looking down
To hide the workings of a frown
Can you escape from this grey cell?
Yes, just believe in things ending well.
