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!
