It is my time

As someone who struggles with depression I know all too well how hard it is to stay strong, and how people have a hard time understanding. These are words I tell myself and have decided to fight back.

It is my time
My time to take control
My time to forge my destiny
My time to forgive myself
My time to accept my imperfections
It is my time to move forward

No longer will you control me
Stripping me of my enthusiasm
No longer will I hurt my loved ones
Or punish myself for no reason

I am strong
I am free
I am the best I can be
I am, me

You will not take me from this world
You will not weigh me down any longer
I will rise above your negativity
I will rise and become an icon
I will persue my dreams
And be free from your grasp

You have taught me well
Even though it was not your intention
I did not ask for you to be in my life
But you are welcome no longer

I was lost but now I'm found
I was regret and sadness bound
You come and go as you please
But as of this moment all that has ceased

It is my time
My time to reclaim my mind
My time to find happiness
My time to believe
I believe in myself

And I set myself free

Author's Note

I didn't put much thought into this as my other poems, but I hope it helps someone in a similar situation, you are not alone. People often times think its just ur mind, as if it is something u can turn on and off or pep talk yourself and get over or ur just seeking attention. But you can overcome. We are not weak but strong and I refuse to let it define my future and who I am

So simple and so beautiful! I adore this

Fine write and very well explained for a going places person one who takes hold of their lives and carries on and makes things right. The only way to go is up by holding you head high and walking with pride in who you are and just knowing where you want to be in a year would be a fine start one day at a time.
