A Farewell To Depression

I walk with anticipation,

Pride, relief, and almost peace

The time has come to see you off

We walk into the train station

I glance around with delight

Open with energy, I can already see my future

Not so long ago,

My vision of the future was disappearing

You, Depression, were fading it away

But through years of fighting

I finally learned strength

Enough to tell you to get out of my life:

“You have known me too long

I won’t stand for this any longer

I’m sending you away on the trains”

With reluctance you agreed to leave

While still clutching my wrist

With your deathly cold metallic fingers

Now, you claw at me as I buy your ticket

“A one-way ticket for one” I Request

This will be the end of us

Ripping your fingers from my skin

I command you to board the train

For the first time, it is I in charge

I can see you inside the train

That’ll be the last time ever

I wave farewell to you for this life

I recovered, I kicked Depression out

I am aware now

Of how wonderously amazing I actually am

As the train leaves the station

A warm wind stirs the air,

And a fire is lit in my heart
