Over the years I’ve meet many people
All with their own personalities and talents
But never before have I met a group like this
They were so different, so unique….
First there’s depression, so mysterious in his ways
He will trap you in and never let his grip loosen
No matter how hard you try to free yourself
On your doorstep he can always be found
Then there’s loneliness, a guy who mostly keeps to himself
But has the uncanny ability to make me want to cry
When I am with him I feel so scared and frightened
And wish I had someone there to hold me, but I never do
And rape of course, who I swear is possessed by the devil
So sweet and charming, he appears out of nowhere
Only to fool you and steal one of your most prized possessions
He may leave physically but for the rest of your life he stays in your head
Addiction, a strange little fellow that one is
Made me believe I wanted him there and that I needed him
So long did he stay with me, whispering in my ear
Words of what he called encouragement but others might say otherwise
Then there was hate, one man who truly despised the world
He tried to teach me his ways of living and thinking
But he only succeeded in making me hate one person
The one person who I could never escape, me
Lastly there was suicide, probably the worst of them all
He sucked me in and filled my head with such thoughts and images
Of blood, knives, ropes, pills, gas, buildings and all things death related
And unfortunately he’s one of the only to stay with me everyday
These are just a few of the people I’ve meet on my journey through life
There have been many others such as anger, sadness and pain
Some of which are still with me for I can’t get rid of them
I fear these people will forever torment me, all because I’m too weak to shut them out
