The Great Depression - (Slam Poem)

There are billions of people in the world yet

I feel like I’m alone

And all I try to do is right

But everyone seems to treat me wrong

So I lash out in rage
But what I say is never heard

Because I’ve learned to turn my cheek
And swallow all these hateful words

But I’m getting tired now
And I can only take so much

Because with everything that happens

My soul

Is slowly being touched

So I make others laugh just to escape all my pain

But

Every time I’m down
No one’s there to do the same

So I sit back and relax
While I nurse all my wounds

As I lie terribly depressed in a dark solemn room

Somehow this little balled up aggression
Is slowly changing into an even bigger Depression

Something that I can’t take….and can’t shake…...and eats away at every second

And I’ve now acquired too many emotions too ever explain

Feel like there’s demons as well as angels
Fighting for control of my pain

And for some strange reason
My heart is being pulled in opposite directions

One has the side of good

And the other knows no affections

And I can’t explain the way I feel
I just know I feel this way

From the second that I wake
To the time that I end my day

And although I enjoy life and try my best to learn its lessons

I just wish it could teach me to escape

This Great Depression
