I Am I Said

To no one there

And no one heard at all

Not even the chair.

I am, I cried

I am, said I

And I am lost and I can't even say why.

Leavin' me lonely still.

This song popped into my head a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to get rid of it.  I'm not really sure why as I have listened to it several times in the hopes of it going away with no luck.  So, here is my attempt to get it out of my head!!

I am...the two of the most powerful words.  For what you put after them shapes your reality.



I am....

Beautiful

Intelligent

Funny

Insane

Conservative

Caring

Wise

Stupid

Friendly

Cold

Positive

Dark

Hard-working

Lazy

Spoiled

Blessed

Spiritual

Happy

Crazy
Confident
Vain


But most of all, I AM ME!!!


Yes, I suffer from depression.  Yes, it can be debilitating.  Yes, it is a mental illness.  Yes, it is difficult.  No, I can't say I'm better.  No, I don't want to lose my fight. 


I have strength beyond all understanding.  I woke up this morning and I hope to wake up every morning for a very long time.  I have loved and have been loved. 


I am...a Success story!!
