I Write

The words on this page

The feelings that I can't quite

Display, only through rage

That maybe just might

Land me stuck in my cage

The reason that I fight

To put out this beautiful blaze

That might be too bright

To see through my own craze

Because it's just too light

To see my darkened face

Or the low of my newest height

Or the height of my newest cave

Nothing can be just right

Living life in the free age

I love this. It's so amazing. I get the depression part and you rhymed words beautifully. I think you would like my poem will you. But bravo!:D
