Dear Depression

I wrote this for all those recovering from depression or going through it. Here's a little inspiration to help motivate you to fight it.

Dear Depression,
Is there even a reason that you're back?
Other than to make the world around me darken
And to take away the happiness that I sadly lack?

You got me before but not now
Even if things seem hopeless
I'll stand on my feet somehow
Turn on a light in this pitch darkness

I am a soul survivor
Misunderstood and misused
Makes better tools for better armor
So now it's harder to be abused

I'm controlling my own strings
While you are trying to cut them down
I've spent too much time dwelling
Now it's time to overcome this meltdown

There's something I want to say
Be warned that it may insult you
But I should have said this before today
F**k you, Depression, I've got stuff to do

I liked that(smile on face) That is what everyone should say when depression hits, when life ways you down, and when things just happen negative toward life. It was really great.
"I am a soul survivor
Misunderstood and misused
Makes better tools for better armor
So now it's harder to be abused
I'm controlling my own strings
While you are trying to cut them down
I've spent too much time dwelling
Now it's time to overcome this meltdown
There's something I want to say
Be warned that it may insult you
But I should have said this before today
F**k you, Depression, I've got stuff to do"
You did great outspoken and all and totally enjoyed the ending. Hope to see more of your writing.

This is a good attitude to take, but the poem is diminished by your use of the F-word. Change that to something acceptable and you'll do yourself a big favor.

I really, really like this poem and I can relate to it on so many levels. It's like I feel confident that I'm all fine and I can move on, then the depressing stuff comes back for seemingly no reason. The lines:
"Makes better tools for better armor" though, and this is just my opinion, if you change "Makes'' to "Make" it may flow better.
"I'm controlling my own strings
While you are trying to cut them down"
That line really spoke to me, and I think it's one o the more defining lines of this poem. great job.
