The power of the mind


No way out ,I'm trapped Can breathe can move I'm under attack Dark, lonely don't nobody love me Or atleast that's what I thought I was a prisoner Crying save me from me I know what it's like to be your own worst enemy Thoughts so dark I thought it was the end of me. Then I had an epiphany it only took one thought To take me from isolation to my emancipation The power of the mind I learned that if i Change my mind i can change my life so i got my mind out of bondage and took all my baggage and throw it in the garbage. I no longer let depression be used as a weapon to keep me from progression I put Christ first in my life and he made my burdens light Now the load is not so hard to bear because I know he's always there It's was just a thought of him that gave me perfect peace and made those bad thoughts cease now I can say I'm released .

This is a poem inspired by Facebook. I was reading through my newsfeed and a lot of my peers were writing about how they felt depressed. I could relate so I decided to write a poem to encourage them.
