Depression
You are special
You are the most powerful shield I have
You freeze time until I'm ready
You encase my heart in carbon
You protect me

You protected me from the chaos of my reality
when I was living it
You took the burden of what I could not handle
When I needed it
You supported me
When no one else would
You were my friend

This was six years ago
I have people that love me now
I found my tribe

You doubt my progress
You hold me back
You don't belong here anymore
It's time to move on

It's not you
It's me

I no longer need your help
I no longer need you to protect me
I no longer want your protection

I am ready
I am ready to face my demons
I am ready to feel my pain
I am ready to discover my emotions
I am ready to be sad
I am ready to be mad
I am ready to be happy

Depression
I love you
but we aren't meant to be

This is goodbye
Farewell
Depression
something different
