Dear Depression Poem by Katie Anon

Please just stop
Please give me a break
For a day to get my strength back
Please just let me smile
Let me be in peace for a while

You've pushed me to my limits
Over and over again
Until you even took away my hope
I survived and carried on
But you are never truly gone

You are never far away
A shadow to every step I make
The darkness all around
What do you want from me
I will do anything to be free

Please just leave me be
I'm not sure I can take it much more
You've already taken so much
I am exhausted to my very core
Please, I can't stand it anymore
