I Battle Depression

You started off small, maybe something I passed along as being down in the dumps, but slowly you got comfortable with our relationship. You started taking control and making a home out of me. You forced your friendship on me, taking advantage of me, and filling my head with thoughts of loneliness.
You make life difficult. You've taken away my smile when I deserved to be happy. You've made me cry when I deserved to laugh. You have filled me with self-doubt when I deserved to be filled with confidence. And you have made me sink when I was made to swim.
It's becoming time now that I realize my own strengths and rise without you holding me down. The days of you holding me hostage in my own thoughts are over. You will no longer keep me bed bond for hours without motivation.
