Depression and Co.
Depression & Co.
Sadness
Anger
Depression
Anxiety
You have molded me
Like a slab of marble
Not yet formed into the
Masterpiece that it
Is meant to be
And it hurt
The chiselle breaking off bits of my soul
But there are others
Others who helped
More than hindered
Ambition
Joy
Kindness
Love
From all of you
I have learned things
Wonderful things
Lessons I will cherish
For all of the endless
Blink that is existence
Infinity in a moment
So thank you
Thank you Gratitude
Thank you Confidence
Enthusiasm, Satisfaction
Caring and Admiration
Thank you Hope
Thank you Serenity
Pride and Awe
But love and hate
Are two sides of the same
Dusty old coin
So thank you
Thank you Pain
Thank you Suffering
Heartache and Misery
Fear and Loathing
Thank you Guilt
Thank you Shame
Frustration and Hopelessness
For I have grown
And flourished
Under your harsh tutelage
But I will never be perfect
Though you have schooled me
In more ways than one
My masterpiece is not yet done
