The Plague by ~cruel-innocence:iconcruel-innocence:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Old Poetry Structure > Emotional




The darkness has been with me always,
It’s the cause for my depressions that last several days
It’s the reason I’m in a negative state of thought
Many sad poems like this it’s brought

Why can’t I write about joy and fun?
I’ve tried but the poem turned out a negative one
From where did these dark thoughts come?
My poems are ok, but I want them to be happy some

Some people think of poems as a kind of gift
I think of it as a hole from which I need a lift
If only I had a happy life to write about
It would be a way from this darkness in which to get out

I don’t know why I have this plague.
It’s like memories, but they’re very vague

The horrid pains of the inner mind work mysteriously and influence the tones and speech of the victims it takes hold of.

I just wanted to add something philisophical to my comment just because this poem is so pretty in such a dark way. I love it. I think I shall fave it. Keep writting, even if it's your plague.

it sticks in my mind like a knife. i know exactly how it feels. no matter how hard you try, the right words to make it seem happy never come out onto the page. but still...its so much more effective to write depressing stuff alot of the time. i like your wording here, and the emotion they put across. well written, perhaps a little short though?

This is good, it's to the point. A lot of writers start out writing about depression, suicide ect... and when they get older and are no longer depressed then they write about other things, like rainbows and kitties, and they become better because of it because they have already learnt how to write well. I hope that has helped!
