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.

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 :)
