Melpomene and Thalia

A short reverse poem

By simplicityPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Depression is a way of life
I will never believe
It's not real
unhinged cowering in dark rooms alone
consequence of expectations
Worthless, pointless, failed endeavors galore
love deposited me here
The victim
Never understanding,
Feeling blessed to be alive
Everyday a gift
Joy, like the smiling people in commercials
Seems like acting

*after reading the last line read the lines in reverse
