Dear Depression

i lived after you

yes, after you killed me 

resurrected from my death 

but, i am not still me 

for now i am new

unrecognizable 

my corpse lived in despair 

but the new me is viable 

see you may have killed me 

took my soul and fled

but i learned to get up

after being left for dead

you inspired me to keep going

absorb from my pain

apply from my losses

accept them and gain

today i am powerful 

and you cannot stop me

you cannot break me

nor can you block me 

now i show you gratitude 

grateful for our secession 

thank you for the test

yours truly, dear depression
