There is a New Sheriff in Town
This poem is about regaining control over the mind to avoid depression and other mental health issues.

Once my ally, now my foe, you seized my mind with a tyrant's hand
A new sheriff in town, enforcing rules I cannot stand
We were meant to work together, to navigate life's sea
But you've become the captain, dictating every move to me
Your fire burns within me, consuming all I hold dear
And when I try to fight it, you only grow more severe
You haunt me with your presence, lurking in the dark
A daily misery, a constant, overwhelming mark
But I refuse to let you win, to let you be my master
I'll no longer be a fool, and let you cause disaster
I am the one in control now, the master of my fate
And you, my dear depression, will no longer dictate
You thrive on attention, but I won't give you mine
I'll sit on the sidelines, and let you wither on the vine
You'll try to lure me in, with your evil persuasion
But I won't fall for it, I'll resist your foul invasion
The jokes on you, my friend, for I'm getting stronger every day
I won't let you reign supreme, I won't let you have your way
So go ahead and try your best, I'll watch you from afar
But know that I am the new sheriff in town, and you won't get far.

Hello friend,
This is Lewis.
I like writing because it is one of the few ways I get to express my thoughts for the world to see. I write a lot on many topics. Today, I might write a poem, and tomorrow, a blog article on sustainability.
