Depression Awareness
Darkness
The Darkness we go through
Is far from fair
Even though at one point or another
Everyone has been there
The Darkenss is scary
We are trapped within
But it's not a matter of if we get out
But when
Some find a ladder
Others take the stairs
But some of us find nothing
Feeling alone, hurt and scared
But soon will come the day
When the pain starts to fade
we push through the hurt
we fight everyday
until we find our light switch
and with the light
we learn not to fear
because the reason we suffered
becomes crystal clear

I struggled with depression for as long as I can remember, I hated myself and wanted othing more than to be gone. Not nessicarily dead, but didn't want to be here. I blieved that I was nothing, and that all I did was let people down and hurt the people I love. I did a lot of regrettable things because of it, but then I got help. The road to recovery is far from easy, I still struggle with my personal demons, but I no longer just sit back and take it, I fight. For myself, and for what I belive to be my purpose in life. During my struggles, is when I descovered my love for writing. I used it as a way to set myself free of what was bothering me. But now I belive that I discovered my love and talent, because that's what I want to use to help change the world, and help those that are going through and experiencing depression. Nobody can fix you, but they can offer tools.
