Dear Depression, You are everywhere You are my nightmares and daydreams. You are the contradicting thoughts in my head that consume me. You are the void I feel when I get done laughing. You are the thing scratching at my brain when I am alone. Despite all this, Depression, today I beat you. I beat you when I got out of bed and didn’t even think about putting on makeup. I beat you when I saw my face and thought I was beautiful. Still, I know that you’ll be back. I know that you never really left. Because you do that, you leave and make me think you are gone for good. But then you show up on a good day. To remind me that you will always be there. But today, Depression, I beat you.

Depression
Dear Depression, You are everywhere You are my nightmares and daydreams. You are the contradicting thoughts in my head that consume me. You are the void I feel when I get done laughing. You are the thing scratching at my brain when I am alone. Despite all this, Depression, today I beat you. I beat you when I got out of bed and didn’t even think about putting on makeup. I beat you when I saw my face and thought I was beautiful. Still, I know that you’ll be back. I know that you never really left. Because you do that, you leave and make me think you are gone for good. But then you show up on a good day. To remind me that you will always be there. But today, Depression, I beat you.
I wanted to out Depression, depression has no right to do this. But yet it still does, to a lot of us...
