Turning Over A New Leaf

This is different from my norm. This week has been good to me, the most i've felt like myself in a long long time. I hope to spread the positive energy I feel right now.

Positvity fills the room
I feel its warmth caress my skin.
I watch it open the curtains
Making my room less dim.
Ridding the darkness in which my demons lay.
I can feel the negative thoughts,
Slip from the grasp of my clouded brain.
I take a deep breath in,
Then I take a deep breath out,
Because today my ability to breathe,
Doesn't seem to cause me any pain.
My year round depression,
Usually has a tight hold on me,
But this week I must admit,
I have started to feel more free.
Battle wounds still reside from my 15 year war,
Only in this current moment,
I have walked into a new room,
Leaving my battles behind and locking the door.
While becoming one with the Earth's.
Quiescently shifting waves,
I feel the sun's bright, loving, 

Carelessly beaming rays.
Times like this make me want to fight my depression,
Making me want to seek out the land,
In which my hellbound thoughts will be slayed.
I know most are used to my quite somber mood,
But my writings come from my soul,
This newfound happiness is quite crude.
As I watch my demons slowly fade away,
I put my hands together and,
Pray the emotions I feel are allowed to stay.
This is Anaya,
Breathing in the smell of peace,
This is Anaya,
Only i'm turning a new leaf

This! This shows that through the downs, there are MOMENTS! This is one and it is a gift. I like how you write: "Making me want to seek out the land, In which my hellbound thoughts will be slayed." I also really liked "I put my hands together and, Pray the emotions I feel are allowed to stay." Paints the picture of the desperation to hold onto something good. I feel like that at times - just clawing at the empty air of a feeling, wanting to hold it yet unable to grasp the misty smoke of it. Very good write and I'm happy for this moment in your life! Keep breathing in the smell of peace Anaya!

Thank you so much. Pieces I write like this mean so much because I am prone to somber pieces and just overall life experiences. But these last two weeks have been just making me feel hopeful. Many many blessings come your way!
