An Open Letter to Depression

Dear Depression,

I am fierce. I am brave. I’ve carried burdens before. Burdens so heavy others would crumble beneath them. So many burdens… And I learned to let them go. I’ve born with you this long because you were much easier to bear, much easier to ignore. Now that I see you, I will not run from you. I run at fear. I will run through you. You can not hang beside me, I don’t have time for you. I may not always be happy but I won’t be sad. When I am past you, you won’t be able to touch me. I am more powerful then you. Not in myself, in my being, but by the power inside me. God’s Power lives inside me.
