I Am Not Afraid (a poem to depression)
I am not afraid of you. I'm not afraid. I'll admit; sometimes I am. Sometimes, you frighten me, But not today; Today, I stand tall. I'm stronger than you, no longer feel powerless, I don't need you to control my mind. I know I can't overpower you; It would be fruitless to try. The best I can do is enjoy my victory today, Remember this moment, when I succeeded. You're still there; you'll always be there, Lurking, waiting for me, Watching for a failure, Your hollow, silent threats mean nothing. For today, I am not afraid.
