Depression, Why Not Impression!!?? By Vickie

Pen That Cold_Addiction admires art, more especially addiction to the paper and ink.
Our team has been working hard in schools, unearthing raw talent, people with passion,love,skill and emotions that they vent through poetry and stories.

For a start I bring you a poem by Pen That Cold_Addiction™-Nkhanyeti High School's President Victoria Biswalo

Depression;Why Not Impression!!??

This guy, this imperfect creature.
Putting me to struggle, always in my way.
I try to forget he exists, but he pops up everywhere.
Whenever he is around, I try to get away.
Yet once again, he follows me.
I wish I could disappear, disappear forever. 

This person torments me by looking at me.
Staring as if I am some kind of double deck cheese burger.
Finding someone to share my feelings with was as risky as hurting this guy's feelings.
I wish for a moment, just one moment, he could forget about me.

Sometimes I regret my beauty, I regret my kindness... in my head, he is dead to me.
But for him to live, he needs me.
I am the one who keeps his heart pumping, I am the light of his world, I am the source of all riches to him.
I am the reason I am depressed.
I am the one who keeps me stressed.
I need to impress myself, I need to kill myself.... i mean no harm to him. I am harming myself by being alive. Please take my life.
I'm tired of this tirade.
This tirade you call life.
I want to be free.
Next to you.
Where I belong.
Away from depression.
And close to impression.......
