Once my ally, now my foe, you seized my mind with a tyrant's hand
A new sheriff in town, enforcing rules I cannot stand
We were meant to work together, to navigate life's sea
But you've become the captain, dictating every move to me
Your fire burns within me, consuming all I hold dear
And when I try to fight it, you only grow more severe
You haunt me with your presence, lurking in the dark
A daily misery, a constant, overwhelming mark
But I refuse to let you win, to let you be my master
I'll no longer be a fool, and let you cause disaster
I am the one in control now, the master of my fate
And you, my dear depression, will no longer dictate
You thrive on attention, but I won't give you mine
I'll sit on the sidelines, and let you wither on the vine
You'll try to lure me in, with your evil persuasion
But I won't fall for it, I'll resist your foul invasion
The jokes on you, my friend, for I'm getting stronger every day
I won't let you reign supreme, I won't let you have your way
So go ahead and try your best, I'll watch you from afar
But know that I am the new sheriff in town, and you won't get far.

Hello friend,
This is Lewis.
I like writing because it is one of the few ways I get to express my thoughts for the world to see. I write a lot on many topics. Today, I might write a poem, and tomorrow, a blog article on sustainability.
