I’m putting my depression on notice; I will not take it anymore!

I just completed the hardest writing assignment of my life and it was for my friend, who I would never want to letdown and so the pressure was horrific. Because of the massive attack of writers block, the replay of my brother’s words “Your poems depress me” and the fact that for the last month I have been so completely lost with out my best friend I ended up producing some of the most depressing poetry. Yep some sad pieces come out of my head, through my fingers and down to the pages of my poetry journal… Here’s my favorite two. They’re a little to Edgar Allen Poe for my liking but they were therapeutic. And oh yeah ... they need some work... Enjoy …

Hurt
Set the hurt of fire
Leave no sign you ever cared

Shut the door behind you

Close those heart shaped shutters real tight

Closure, it’s the one thing you won’t be getting
Sometimes the answers just don’t come

So rip up all those remembrances
Unwind your memory spool

The pain, it will ease in stages
New beginnings, they'll be coming real soon

Please, release the ties that bind you
Break that stupid magical spell

Those glass slippers, they just don't fit you
No matter how much you want them to

So set the hurt of fire

Leave no sign you ever cared 

Down
Your mistake is knocking on your door again
That familiar tapping, once so soothing
Because of all the wrong comfort that it gives
Your chain lock has gone missing
And your mistake is back
Arms open wide
The fourth time
Yes the fourth time
Is way past its charm
All the old reasons still linger
Stale smoke landed and seeped in deep
You see your mistake has come back and he is knocking
He is knocking on your door
And that damn chain lock has gone missing
And your guard has been letdown
Oh what a beautiful fool you are
With your arms open, oh so wide
