Depression
I breath with faze,
moving my feeble soul around
making me fidgety.
Fumbling every time my mouth move,
My words turning equivocal.
My face is dark with rage,
Laying my head on my pillow at night
and the hurricane in it lits up.
Hoping to eradicate my tears,
Wearing my smiling mask,
Bunging my legs on the floor
asking how does happiness taste,
A conundrum question.
Raising my hands to sky
Read the rest of the poem Show less
hoping to pray.
Invisible tears flowing like river.
But I keep fighting to stay alive.
Every conversation is insipid,
Infusing happiness trying to fight my depression.
I keep fighting because my instinct never lie.
I will win this war,
I am a winner!!!
