The Poetic Emotions of a Depressive Mind

How walking among strangers gave my life some meaning
So selfish were their minds trapped in their own conclusions
Of this emotional mind of mine
How could they not realise this heart of fire
With timeless thoughts invigorating my mind
And how my life was entwined in distant emotions
Trapped in my imaginary life

Relentlessly seeking my innermost feelings
All alone embroiled with my demons so real
Always dreaming for the day when reality would visit my mind
Never to have known my depth of feeling
With my heart and soul endlessly stoking visions so unreal
But now I am of a different mind

For I met a stranger who was real to me
A token of acceptance
And from then on I was never to be so engulfed in my grief so real
That’s when I discovered the meaning of life

For those who do not know me they may well ask themselves
What is he on about? (Pathetic) Who? Not me
For I am reality

Please listen and you will hear a meaningful mind
With feelings in abundance
An eternal flame that will flicker no more

Please Doctor, Eat your own pill’s my life is for living

Poetry is of the mind
Emotions are deep within us all
Please release them and invigorate your mind

For those who will not see they are blind
For those who will not listen they will not hear
For those who seek to put me down
I will listen no more
To their own demons so unreal
For I am reality and you will hurt me no more
