Analysis of One Struggle, Two Struggle
I struggle with addiction
while checking my diction
or cleaning the kitchen
it's quite an affliction.
I struggle with depression
while taking my lessons
hoping it will lessen
or be a shorter session.
I struggle with addiction
though quit with conviction
a desire no depiction
of no science fiction.
I struggle with depression
a lack of aggression,
vacuum of expression,
leads to regression.
I struggle with depression
I struggle with addiction
I overcome depression
I overcome addiction.
