a predisposition for depression sway
my feelings follow, and I was waylaid
succumbing to the malady, I ache
sinister understanding, it would not alleviate
the darkness cloying devastate
And in my compromised position, I vow
not to placate people anymore
then swallow down my emotions
becoming sorrowful for my lack of backbone
in times past, this was the case
not knowing that eating my rage would cause a fallout
it took anger for me to rise
slicing people with my tongue
with such a savage, wicked vile
it could only come from the depths of hell
my kind demeanor was broken from being pushed too far
so now I sit alone, no company to speak of
and lament I’m not better equipped
people and situations remain elusive to me
a very sad girl am I
I suffered from it when I was younger for various reasons. Your poem spotlights it in an artistic way. Excellent poem crimsin.

hello dearest damian I think my problem lies in the inability to properly set boundaries and when I finally stand up for myself it’s with anger and people are taken aback I think if I set consistent boundaries from the start it woud be better my problem is I see good in everybody thank you for understanding 💕
