Misery Foe

Misery loves it's company- no misery loves the sight of me.
It's been with me for too long now and my spirit cries free.
Why has it been so long to move on from my past?
It seems as if this emptiness will surely always last.
How can I make it go away? So I can finally breathe.
To suffocate in this fog of misery will surely be the end of me.
I thought ways to make it go and not on led to my bliss.
Who will come into my life to deliver my curing kiss?
What makes it to where I cant I cant progress without one being there?
Depending on others for my joy is neither way not fair.
When will my day of victory rise when I've defeated my misery foe?
It seems as if the only way is just to him go.
