Out Of Darkness Comes Light

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do is accept me for me,
The nice person that the rest of the world saw, I could not see,
She was masked and hidden by hate and inner rage,
Kept from my view, locked away inside a cage.
When I looked in the mirror I hated what was looking back,
Feelings surrounded me all morbid and black,
I wanted the reflection to disappear,
So that no-one could see she was vulnerable and possessed fear.
To run the blade across my naked skin was a relief,
To punish myself, was my only belief,
I was on a self-destructing mission,
Only to the blade or alcohol would I listen.
I remember trying to end it all,
Feeling so helpless and oh so small,
Alone in this world, depressed and ashamed,
I was just so numb, my emotions all drained.
But I can look back on all that now,
I survived my past, my depression somehow,
Although everyday is still a struggle,
But as the days tick over ,my heads less of a muddle.
I am able to now look into a mirror,
Without feeling anger and that awful shiver,
My scars are now healing, but there’ll always be visible,
To remind me that once upon a time I was miserable.

Nicely done . . . and congrats on overcoming it :-). With vivid imagery, great metaphor, and well-chosen words you paint beautifully exactly how self-hatred and depression feel . . . great job and congratulations again.
