Poetry

Dear Social Anxiety,

I want to kill this part of me

This ugliness detrimental mess

Be killed from society

How I wish you’d go away silently

But oh, the irony

Of me wanting you to be gone so quietly

I’m sorry

It’s my social anxiety...

Now here I am apologizing

Because my voice isn’t loud enough

But that’s just gravity

What a catastrophe!

It is for my words to be stuck

Between my lips, tongue, and teeth like a cavity

Dear Addiction,

I want to kill this part of me

This ugliness detrimental mess

Be killed from confliction

How I wish you’d go away without any restriction

But oh, the irony

Of me wanting you to be gone without affliction

But that’s just fiction...

What a contradiction!

It is for me to be a conviction of my own depiction

Dear Depression,

I want to kill this part of me

This ugliness detrimental mess

Be killed from my expression

How I wish you’d go away without a confession

But oh, the irony,

Of me wanting you to be gone without any attention

I’m sorry

It’s my depression...

But that’s just repression

What an obsession!

It is to have my deprivation of happiness

Stuck into my thoughts

Like an everlasting impression
