I'm not depressed....

I am not depressed.
I am angry.
I am angry at those around me
I am angry at how
              self-centred
                          selfish
                                  bitchy
                                         ignorant
they are.

I am angry God.
I am angry at how
                  he took her
                             he left me
                                      he made me watch
Mum.

I am angry at my government
I am angry at how
                      the treat those in need
                                              they take forever to do anything
                                                                             they patronise me
I am not a number.

I am angry at my superiors
I am angry at how
                         at 17 I still can't make my own choices
                                                                I must earn their respect
                                                                               while I have to respect them blindly

Speaking such thoughts out loud
I would scream
And I would be silenced
So I bite my tongue
My head down low
You think I am sad

I am not depressed
I am furious........
