My dear friend, I write to you today
In hopes that my words may light your way
Through the darkness that cloud your mind
And the heavy burden that you find
I see the tears that stain your face
And feel your heart's uncertain pace
Depression, like a heavy shroud
Wraps around you, a suffocating cloud
But know this, my dear, you're not alone
In this battle that is all your own
There are hands reaching out for you
To pull you up and see you through
I know it's hard to find the light
When all around seems endless night
But please hold on and don't let go
For there is hope, this I want you to know
Seek the sun behind the storm
And let its rays your spirit warm
Embrace the love that others give
And find the strength within to live
The road ahead may seem unclear
But take one step, and then one near
Each little victory, no matter how small
Is a win against the shadows that enthrall
Speak your truth, let your voice be heard
For in your words, strength is stirred
You're a warrior in this fight
And your courage shines through darkest night
So take my hand, and let me guide
Together, we'll face the ebbing tide
For in this battle, you're not alone
And brighter days will soon be shown
My dear friend, I believe in you
And in the strength you hold within, so true
Battling depression is no easy feat
But in your heart, hope and love will meet
So let these words be your guiding star
And know that no matter where you are
You're loved, you're valued, and you're strong
You'll rise above, where you belong
With love and hope, I send this to you
A reminder that your spirit is true
Take heart, dear friend, and stand tall
For you will conquer, you will not fall
