Goodbye Poem by Chrissy Horning

Goodbye

Rating: 5.0


Goodbye to you, my life long sorrow
Your presence will fade into tomorrow

Farewell to you, my life long depression
Your force will soon become regression

I know your shadows will creep up behind me
Trying their hardest to always remind me

But my smile will extinguish your fire of rage
And my strength will throw you back into your cage

The war, you see, has just begun
Your obscurity will soon be burned by the sun

Happiness will then rule my mind
And traces of you will be hard to find

My advice to you is to run and hide
Within my soul you have already died

Written many years ago, found an old journal with this in it, along with a few others. Still struggling with depression, much different outlook on it 20 years later.
