Elijah Reed Poems

Last night I had a dream I came face to face with my depression.
He’s not a nice guy, he lives alone, and always feeding off of my aggression.
I dreamed that we were high, standing on a cloud prosession.
We sat and talked, he told me all about the things I hated
...

My emotions, they control my ways
and all of what they make leaves me out of it for days.
I wish they were like books, I'd read them all to myself
and when I reach a bad one, stick it in the back of the shelf.
...

I can't sleep and I'm clueless why
when every time I hope and try
to catch a few winks
with this burn, it stinks
...

Tears like rain as i feel
all of this pain makeing my heart peel.
You enter my day, my emotions whirl
only to find you caught in turmoil.
...

As of now I'm through with all my being
Because the coward that I've made myself wants to end all that he's seeing
the torture that I put myself through just to care for a single person
the only one who wishes my situation will not further worsen
...

I'm sitting here, thinking clear
Remember what I greatly fear.
Of causing her to drop a tear
From things I say while drinking beer.
...

Locked into your emotional prison cell,
With bars constructed from old abuse of alcohol.
Chains made of past emotions and regret,
You're put away until you can forget it all.
...

The Best Poem Of Elijah Reed

Forgetful Pain And Depression

Last night I had a dream I came face to face with my depression.
He’s not a nice guy, he lives alone, and always feeding off of my aggression.
I dreamed that we were high, standing on a cloud prosession.
We sat and talked, he told me all about the things I hated
About myself and how my thoughts are always halfway faded.
He brought up feeling that I can’t remember.
The touch of lips on mine creating love and all emotions tender,
Yes, all those feelings I have for someone of another gender.
Depression knows it’s hard for me to comprehend
All of the feeling being returned from the other end
Of a relationship that I seem to never really be in.
Because I never understand what there’s to love under my own skin.
I’m just a stupid loser always caught up with his past sin.
A guy who’s own brain won’t ever let him win.
It never lets me remember much
Because my pain gives off a forgetful touch.
And when I’ll think the pain is leaving,
It drops a huge load full and heaving.
Of all the things I thought I forgot how to understand
As if written in the beach, then kicked out of the sand.
And when it drops it on my heart, it stops for an hour.
It’s crushed by my own emotion, stacked up like a tower.
But when it’s over, understanding blooms like a beautiful flower.
And life no longer seems so sour.
Epiphany dawns, emotions awaken
I look forward on the path soon to be taken.
But in the back of my mind pain will cause me to forget all the feelings I fought so hard to remember.
And depression will rub it in my face.
