Today I Let Go*

Today I let go all those feelings inside me,
Feeling that I've felt for years....
Thoughts of bitterness and fears.
Afraid of growing old alone,
Always questioning the unknown,
Depression was my only friend
Sticking closer than my next of kin.
Making my life a living hell...
Looking back now, I remember so well.
The deep feeling of lonliness, wanting only to sleep,
While in my dreams dark shadows did creep.
Shadows of Uncertainty, Hopelessness, Despair...
Many nights I'd awaken gasping for air,
On the brink of drowning, subcoming to depressions under tow.
That's when I dedcided...It's time to let go.
Time to let go all those feelings of grief and despair,
To know that life is worth living, with people who truly care.
The most important lesson, I've learned through it all...
Mr. Depression can rob you of your life, be it short term or long.
If affects you and loved ones in a round about way,
It's really up to you if he goes for stays.
What finally helped me to let go and see...
Is that in order to love or receive love...
I must first love me.
My most valued lesson!

BRAVO!! Gloria, I am so happy you have decided to fight and not let it take you over. I almost did at one time in my life. The actual realization of death took over and somehow I found the will to fight it. I am so happy for you.
Love,
Rita |
