So, I'll be the first to admit that I'm not even a decent poet, my poems often lack substance, but I'm trying to get better! Could you please read my poem and suggest anything that I could do to make it worth while? I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

I fight the war of the living:
the wanting but not succeeding.

I take pills to make it less gray,
and weep when the world ceases to be my playground.

I find hope under a rock,
once a dark, cold, lonely place.

I take pills to make it less gray,
rely on them and forget to pray.

I fight for my right to posses,
take my medicine for the times I feel I have nothing and less.

I fight the battle of the living:
the struggle to be and accept my being as a whole and righteous.

I fight the war of the living:
the need to erase my existence when existing proves so passé.


So there it is, in all it's injustice! lol!
