I'm okay.
That's a line I use everyday.

I don't let people read what I write.
I know if they see it they won't think I'm alright.

I really am okay.
Even though I battle depression almost everyday.

Writing helps me get it out.
It helps me get ride all my thoughts that fill me with doubt.

I don't cut or try to do anything that would hurt me.
All I need to do is write to be set free.

Sometimes I feel trapped in my own mind.
But once I write I start to unwind.

I know I'm not as good as I'm going to be.
I know one day I will truly be set free.

Don't think that means I want to die.
Don't be fooled by the tears you see me cry.

I am happy to be here.
Even if sometimes I live with fear.

Don't be scared that I'm going to take my life.
I would never have the guts to use that knife.
