Poems

Depression

Something came into me at camp
And it remains with me even now
It's this horrible, terrible parasite
That has buried itself in my heart
And refuses to leave
All the while
Sucking the life out of me

It hurts so bad
That it makes me want to cry

But I can't

Because I have to be this
Perfect
Princess
Who never sheds a tear
In public

Though it's killing her, this fight is

And though the princess has become slave

The King will set her free
