Not a personal write. It was inspired by a friend who battles depression.
I will not go quietly
I will not wallow in self pity
I want to stand up
I want to stand out
I don’t want to
spiral into
That web of darkness
I want to get up and smile again
In spite of the negativity that's drawing me in
I want to hear a child's laughter
And smile knowing that I will get there too
I will once again smile
As if it is my very breath
I will fight this
I will not drown
In this
sea of depression
