Your story is your own to write
Each moment adding to the plot
You can control your character
But so many other things you can not
When depression takes a hold
And you can't see a way through
Please remember it is just a chapter
And it does not define you
It may be a very dark time
When the world feels empty
Even your sense of self changes
Full of loneliness, pain and apathy
But in managing to carry on
Just surviving each day
You show your inner strength
And nothing can take that away
Maybe you can not foresee a good ending
It seems impossible for it to be happy
But in the best stories darkness is overcome
And in you it is the hero that i see
