Dear Depression
Dear Depression,
Oh, sweet depression
How you pulled me in
How you hurt me
Abused me
And it still didn’t sink in
All the nights spent worrying
All the times spent crying
Days upon days just spent lying
In a bed which didn’t comfort me
And it still didn’t sink in
Constant fear of that little voice
Thinking that I wasn’t enough
Replaying scenes over and over in my head
Still stuck on that fucking bed
And it still didn’t sink in
I need to change
I need to move forward
And although I know you will be there
I will get away and take care
Of myself, for once in my life
I will get through this
I have many times before
I’ve had to pull myself up out that door
Into my crazy and messed up world because
It has finally sunk in
I will have conversations
And I will be heard
No longer fearing each and every word
That comes out of my mouth because
It has finally sunk in
I am not alone
I am not someone to be ignored
I am not useless
I am not pathetic
It has finally sunk in
So, sweet depression
You may still be there
But I no longer will I stand to share
My memories and my life with you
And I will get through these days because
It has finally sunk in
I am amazing
I am sweet
And I am determined to get back on my feet
And take back my life because
It finally sank in
I’m moving on
I’m growing up
And you can come if you only keep up
But I will never listen ever again
Because it finally sank in
Sincerely,
Every part of me
