My Depression

My Depression

 

Eric Jones

 

I sit in my room.

I feel the world crush around me.

My heart is has fallen from the shelf and shattered into millions of pieces. Its a tundra of cold wet snow.

I walk down the stairs and what was once colorful and shiny is now bland and dull.

My brain is trying to pick up the pieces of what has been destroyed and is trying to put it together with

Elmer’s glue. My body feels like it is sitting on pins and needles.

Outside the children holler and yell with joy but to me it’s all scrambled into one sound.

It screams in my ear, the pain is unbearable. It’s not physical pain, its mental.

All the flowers have wilted, the scent of flowers gives me a headache.

Why must the world look at my me with disgust and hatred.

My life is half empty and now there is no more.

 

 

 

Reflection.

1.) My poem is a emotion poem.

2.) I chose this poem because i have this feeling a lot and i feel like people need to see the other side of me.

3.) My poem has a dark look on life.

4.) My theme is depression.

5.)

a.)”My heart is has fallen from the shelf and shattered into millions of pieces.”

b.) this is a metaphor because it doesn’t use the words like or as which would make it a simile but it still compares it to something else.

c.) “My brain is trying to pick up the pieces of what has been destroyed and is trying to put it together with Elmer’s glue.”

d.) this is also a metaphor because it also doesn’t use the words like or as which would make it a simile but it still compares it to something else.

6.)

A.) Instead of putting my heart is broken i put “My heart is has fallen from the shelf and shattered into millions of pieces.” Because it didn’t sound as cheesy.

B.) I didnt wanna say i was trying to pick up the pieces and put myself together again because that’s what everyone says, so instead i put down “My brain is trying to pick up the pieces of what has been destroyed and is trying to put it together with Elmer’s glue.” because it sounded better and it was original.

7.) The poem wasn’t very difficult to write it was the trying to make things sound better and more orginal and adding figurative language.

8.) I was very satisfied with my draft even though there was some need to fix it up a bit before it became a final draft i really did like it.
