Dramatic

Alexia Warren

I'm being dramatic. I'm often told. By my mother, father, doctor, friend, teacher, and preacher.

I'm being dramatic. It's not that bad.

I'm being dramatic. I only said I was depressed.

I'm being dramatic. It was only a word.

I'm being dramatic. As I'm killed by a sword.

You're being dramatic. Stop making depression smaller than it is.

Wonderfully pointed and "dramatic" piece.
The final line is devastatingly apt.

Well done.

And Happy New Year.

really good write,

'Stop making depression smaller than it is.' great line, on poetry sites, such as this one, just mentioning the word 'depression' can get any 'poet', 'attention' and may turn a complex condition into a cliche' just saying...yes, it should not be made smaller than it is, well said, you approached the subject with some 'intelligently' dramatic word play, my compliments... be well
