 Letting Go
I need to let go,
Release the darkness within,
The bitterness and the jealousy,
I need to be set free;

But how can I?
How can you drive away
That which has always been there,
Your constant companion,
Since the days of you childhood;

The darkness has always been there,
It has always embraced you,
When none other would,
Shadows have hidden you,
From the world's uncaring eyes;

If you take the risk,
Purge the bile within,
Will you find something to replace it,
Or simply be empty,
A hollow shell of a person?

how true...its funny how to many people it seems like such a simple act of recovering from a mental illness..but in reality the illness is as much a part of you as anything else and if you don't have it then what will you have? depression and anxiety are like drugs...if you don't have them to fall back on then what will fill that void? this is such a moving poem...i admire your ability to put so much of your thoughts out there. very well written.
