This is me filing for a separation, 

From my depression

From my anxiety 

From my fears. 

Why have I let you hold me back from living 

why have you let me just sit in the sidelines 

while chances of happiness just pass me by. 

I have lived in your shadows for too long, 

I have lived in darkness for so long.

honestly, I have been depending on you for my survival. 

I have tried pushing you down and ignoring you,

But you won’t let me. 

I have lived with the struggles and I am tired of the struggles 

so I have declared an independence from you. 

I cannot live like this anymore. 

So, I am choosing to be happy.

it is a long hard road. 

But I need to do it, 

without you Depression.
