Dear Depression

You See plain brown eyes And acne covered skin

I see the earth after a rainy day And a sky l i t t e r e d with c o n s t e l l a t i o n s

You think I'm l o u d And that I have no brain

But I have lungs of gold And s t a r d u s t in my v e i n s

You see stretch Marks You see fat

I see a warrior

With stories to live Stories to write Stories to tell

You think I'm b o r i n g, p l a i n, u g l y

But I know I'm beautiful And that's enough for me to stay
