Poem Title:
Poem
I almost got blinded by the light, I felt confused when the dark was missing Having a real smile on my face is something that was hard to envision I've noticed that when I pick my pen up that my art is different But the picture is getting clearer, I'm finally starting to understand the art of living It took me a while but I'm finally in a good mind state I'm making the most of everything I have now, I used to time waste I had to go through the worst times, and I haven't seen my best yet But I survived my own mind sending me death threats Depression had control of me, but I managed to escape it I refuse to dress it up, and I'm not sending nudes, but I'm letting you see me naked It got to a point where my nightmares were something I was no longer scared of Me giving up? That's something you will never hear of I was going to clubs and drinking alcohol while I healed But now I'm finally at a place where my smile is real I'm laughing and joking about things I used to cry about I've moved on from people I thought I couldn't live without I spent so much time and wasted so much energy on the wrong one But stabbing me in the back will hurt you more in the long run Karma will catch you, I'll never understand how you can screw over someone who is all for you It took me a while to pick myself up, I don't know why I had to fall for you I don't regret it, because now I know you came as a lesson not a blessing I shed many tears over you while I was fighting depression But I overcame both and now I'm standing here stronger than ever Me, myself and I will always stand together I was so used to pain, I got confused when the dark was missing Having a real smile on my face is something that was hard to envision I've noticed that when I pick my pen up these days my art is different But the picture is getting clearer, I'm finally starting to understand the art of living
