I was feeling depressed from intimidation
Cut my skin without hesitation
All I needed was a little inspiration
Depression does not take a vacation
It plays you like a playstation 3
Making you blind so you cannot see
That it is weak and ready for defeat
It drains you makes you feel deplete
It can mold you into only hate
But it is not you, it is fake
You fight with it everyday
But you do not have to listen to depression
Open up in a therapy session
We are getting out of this recession
We will get better without a question
We can power on up and win this fight
We can soar on up and fly a high height
We can wake up and open our eyes
Suicide will not make me want to die
It is all up to you and who you want to be
Hold your breath and unleash on the count of three
It will not stop me from being set free
Let loose your inner human being
Open your mind start healing
Open your lungs start breathing
Depression can seem in power I agree
Realize it is not in control can you not see
Break down these walls on the count of,
One, Two, Three… Be Free


The author's comments:

I wrote this my Freshman year (2012) while undergoing my indentity crisis. I often felt like depression was my past, present and future. I wrote this to remind myself and others that there is always hope. I know first hand how difficult your world may seem at the time, but it really can get better.
