Note to Future Self

When I lost myself

When I felt like complete ruin

When I felt I could not go on any longer

When it came to wanting to take my own life

I closed my eyes

I felt a flame within

It took all I had to keep going

But I did

Here I am

Years later

I still stand

Transformed completely

Scars remain

They are felt deep within my soul

The struggle I had to make

To save myself

Now I make sure to never forget

How far I have come

Depression does not win

I do
