Dear depression,
Give me thoughts,
Without the anxiety.
Give me pain,
With a knowing that it’ll pass away.
Give me all the grief,
Only if it won’t play on repeat.
Give me the longing to isolate,
Without the loud voices in my head.
Allow me to breathe,
Even through this insanity.
Let me live,
Even if death calls.
Allow me to see the future ,
Through the cloud of my thoughts.
Allow me to be okay,
Even if it’s okay not to be.
Felicia
