Poison
Where has this black mist come?
Who had conjured such a storm?
Perhaps it was the silver serpant that
slipped into my creaking cradle,
the vemon that tainted my blue blood.
Perhaps it was the markings
of an ink and quill
upon a candle lit parchment
that stained my white veil.
Was it the voices creeping
from the towering citadels
where feathered words of love
poisened with hate hath fell?
It was once the promise of paradise
that drove men to love,
but now its fear of hell
that pushed the men from compassion.
Is mine a sin to love?
To feel the way I do
Is mine a sin to think
about things I never should?

I wrote this poem about depression, and who is to blame. Because you are born one way, should you hate yourself? Or should you hate the people who tell you to hate yourself?
