Trying to shed this shell of depression. 5 Couplets with 11 syllables per line.
Trying to figure out this way that I feel
I'm a dark banana; whole world is my peel.

Sunshine without light, my soul is so heavy
More clouds and tears of rain, break my minds levee.

I'm always in darkness- most of the time down
The guy who always laughed wears only a frown.

If I could peel away this shell of disgust
Blow away these dark clouds of hate and mistrust.

This layer of skin that sheds so easily
Goes away designed, not to end pleasingly.
