Rebel

Now is the time
Where I let go a part of me.
The one who got away from the world 
Never let anyone in
For fear didn't let me bond.
There was pain
It lingered in bittersweet happiness
Emerging in unlikely moments.
Tears.
Doubt.
Hopelessness.
No way out.
But, I held on and mingled with it.
Defying it's underlying desires.
It would dance on my emotions.
Holding on.
Then, I let go.
Setting it free.
Depression don't follow me anymore
For I'm a rebel in the darkness.

I read all three of your poems. Well constructed and good use of imagery. My only suggestion is to also consider other subject matter that is less inward looking. Angst is a cheap commodity in poetry. Write for your audience, not for yourself. Nothing wrong with that, but it's therapy, not poetry.
