To Depression

Our relationship is complicated. Some Days I’m very angry at you, others I beg for you to be there for me. I don’t blame you for all the pain you caused. You only ever wanted to protect me. To protect me from a big scary world full of people who hurt me.

But I’m not that little kid anymore. I’ve grown up my friend, and sometimes friends grow apart. That’s what we should do.

I won’t forget all the things you told me that were true, even if they hurt. You taught me not to live life for goals and plans that I didn’t enjoy. You taught me what it meant to desire absolutely nothing and from that I learned the beauty of small desires.

But I want you to know, the world doesn’t have to be so sad.

One day both of us will see that.
