Hello, despair, my very old friend; From your sneakiness and unwelcome visits, They never seem to end.
In all honesty, I never invited you to be in my life So why do you even come around? All you do is silently stab me in the heart with a knife.
My heart, my brain, and my body alike Can not stand your presence any longer. So why not just take a hike?
I’m sorry for sounding so harsh, and so mean But you do the exact same to me everyday; I will not admit defeat.
Like a fiery phoenix I will rise out of you And you will see Just what I can do.
You aren’t easy to defeat, I will admit that But I swear, I promise you I will not fleet.
I think you have to go Even though we were “great friends,” I opened my eyes and saw you only brought me sorrow.
So this is the final goodbye, indeed yes, I will no longer suffer From your unlawful distress.
No longer come after me, or even try, Because I will fight you off again, with my head held high.
This poem that I created came from a prompt that was done for school as an assignment. I wanted to sit down and take the time to create something meaningful to me. I hope you all like it!
