Poems from The Chessplayer
Some call it 'depression' but
It doesn't help to name it;
I always knew I had it
But at some point I became it
Sometimes I'm unable to write
And it scares me
Because when I can't find the words
It feels like I'm dying
So I have to remind...
I remember riding on the train
chugging slowly through the winter rain
drawing pictures in the fog...
In the fifth grade, I told my teacher a lie
And she called my mother
And I remember thinking,
'I'm gonna die'
When I arrived...
Well, I'm writing poetry again.
I used to write when I was younger--
It wasn't good, but it rhymed at least
And after a while I got bored...
