My first real poems

I have been dealing with issues I haven't been able to describe. 

Tonight I was helping a friend with a journal article for a writing journal, she has been writing for and looked at one of the issues and saw a poem about mental health and it sparked something.

I ended up writing 3 poems about the things that in normal conversant language I have had the most difficulty with expressing.

I dunno if they are very good in a technical sense, but they express what they are intended, so they are successful to me.

Enjoy!

( About depression )

"Halting so abruptly that Kirk nearly ran into him, Pike got right in the younger mans face. Speaking through clenched teeth and fighting to restrain himself , the Captain proceeded to explain his reasoning.

" ' If you can look past your initial animal response, cadet, and for a moment think about conditions outside your immediate surroundings, you'll recognize that without transport ability, not only can we not leave this ship, we cannot assist Vulcan or anyone in its surface. Additionally with communications blocked we cannot notify Starfleet of what's happening here, either to request reinforcements, seek information or simply warn the res of the Federation.' " ~ Star Trek (New Movie) - Alan Dean Foster, Based on the screenplay Written by - Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman

Yes that is FOUR sentences. Star Trek Authors have such command of grammar, that what is usally split into baby sentances, becomes complex and compound sentances. Yay!
