YOU

YOU were taking over,
Everything I loved in my life.
YOU caused me so much trouble.
YOU caused me so much strife.

YOU made me be afraid,
Of what I seen in the mirror.
YOU caused all my hopes and dreams,
To simply shatter.

YOU made me think,
That no one really cared.
YOU made me believe,
That I was the only one here.

YOU made me feel,
Like there was absolutely no one,
YOU made me want,
To turn to the gun.

It was all of YOUR fault,
I felt the way I did.
No one would listen because,
"After all I'm just a kid."

YOU made me feel,
That I was better off alone.
But I then realized how much I had,
And suddenly YOU were gone.

I'm a different person now,
I'm so happy. I'm so free.
I'm out of YOUR hands.
I'm who I need to be.

I'll make a difference in this world.
Even though "I'm just a kid."
I'll help people overcome YOU.
Like I once did.

The "YOU" in this poem is depression. For a
month or so I was extremely depressed. Not
all of this poem is entirely true. I really didn't
get to thinking in a suicidal manner. But I
thought it would fit in in this poem. Please,
comment&&rate. peace and love,
