This will not define me
It will not beat me, break me, tear me down
I am stronger, more powerful
My sickness will not control me
It will not trap me in fears and worries
I am braver, more powerful
It does not know me
For I control myself, feel what I choose, be what I like
I am me, more powerful
Depression will not hold me
I am not it's prisoner, I am not it's puppet, or victim
I am self-governing, more powerful
Those who have struggled, I feel for. For those who have not, here's an inside look.
