Poetry that I wrote

Here's a poem called Never Giving Up that I wrote.

I've been fighting this depression

Since I was thirteen years old.

I'm seeming to lose this battle

But I'm not giving up just yet

I'm trying to free these demons

That live inside my soul

They are taking away my happiness

And giving me sadness

Every day I look at myself in the mirror 

Telling myself that I'm ugly

That I'm not worth living in this world

But this is the demons talking

And I wish they would go away

Because they are tearing my life apart

I'm tired of being this insecure girl

Who always thinks badly about herself

And feels as if the world hated her.

I will fight this depression.

Fight the demons that lives inside of me

Because I know one day I will win

I always bottle up my emotions

Hiding away the pain I feel

I always smile and fake happiness

Just for others to be happy

But every time I fake a smile or a laugh

It becomes a real smile and becomes real happiness

I am overcoming this blood-sucking illness. Slowly but surely I will win
