Battle with Depression

I’d never admitted to anyone

That I had a battle with depression.

It all seems so long ago but still so close.

I hated those years.

The years that went by,

The years that I felt worthless,

The years that nothing happened,

The years that I wanted to die.

Everything in the world was so cruel.

Everyone in the world was so inconsiderate.

But really, it was all a battle in my mind.

Everything was contorted and masked,

Concealing my view on reality.

But now, I am free.

I have beaten my depression

And I am a survivor.
