The Viper and my Heart

A little white clouds on my head

A little white clouds on my heart

A rubber snake squeezes my soul

until it feels like I can't breath

then my heart starts bleeding red blood

and a tear remains unshed

the cloud covers my face so no one could read me

and what could be done if they could?

I yank it off with hot dead fingers

loosen it slightly but it comes slithering back

it stays like a viper determined

until it sees that the meats too tough and slithers away

I take a breath relieved its gone

though I can't get it out of me

there seems to be nowhere to go or anything to do

so I ignore it and take a breath

and enjoy feeling alright.


The author's comments:

Hey yall, this is one of my first poems. I used to go through bouts of depression and wrote it for others, so they know that they are not the only ones who feel like this sometimes. Fell free to commet or leaave constructive criticsism. Thanks :)
