Lovely poetry About Depression

To the people who

To the people who
Gave me doubt
I want you to know
You fueled my determination
And made me stronger
And wiser
And better
To the people who
Put me down
I want you to know
It may have taken me awhile
But I eventually
Sorted through the pain
And underneath all that misery
Found my bravery again
Though it was dusted and bruised
I am no longer a coward
Hiding in my room
And I'm better now
To the people who
Mocked my scars
I want you to know
That nothing you can say
Will bring me down
Because my scars show
My lowest point
And my healing shows
I'm getting stronger
To the people who
Made me cry
I want you to know
I'm stronger now
For having known you
And been tormented by you
Because now I have learned
How to bite back tears
And keep my head held high
And for the people who feel alone
And scared
And sad
I want you to know
It does get better
You will get better
