The Wall I

Trigger warning: This is a poem about depression and having suicidal thoughts. Please be advised.


It’s the perfect time to build a wall
Then share my frustrations and all
For at least it will be no surprise
That it will ignore all my cries

It’s the perfect time to build a wall
And wait for the Reaper to call
Pitch black is where I will get comfort
There’ll be no more wasted effort

It’s the perfect time to build a wall
And wait for my body to fall
Deprive me of this never-ending sigh
The world will be better when I die

Yes, I wear a mask sometimes. You can call me Dewey. Absolutely deranged, below-average writer.
