Friendship... I thought I had lost it to my 'friend' Depression

But, instead, others were there to show me the light in the darkness.

Friends I thought would abandon me

Friends who say they'll be there for me

I smile at the thought of others cheering me up

I grin at the thought of having people who care about my well being

Depression, you're not my friend!

You never were!

You were always holding me back

With thoughts of death and

Darkness.

But, now, I cast you aside into a dark part of my mind

Depression, you don't control me!

You made me think I was worthless

You made me want to die!

Your words can't harm me!

Your thoughts will never be mine!

Depression, I thought you were my friend

But, you stabbed me in the back with feelings of

Sorrow

Suffering

Pain

Loneliness

But, no more will I feel this way!

You don't control me anymore, Depression

You don't pull on the strings!

My friends are here to make me smile, and they always will!

Friendship is better than tears and loneliness.
