Who Am I in This Gift of Life? -a poem

Who am I?

What will I do with this gift of life?

God continually sheds His abundant grace in my life

But still I find that depression tends to take its toll on me

I know God has diagnosed me with depression for a reason

I don't understand why

But I know He's using me through it

I'll keep fighting

I'll keep standing

I won't give up;

Even though I hit moments where all I want to do is give up

But that's life

Life is hard

Life gets overwhelming

Life becomes filled with confusion and fear

But I won't let it tear me down

My past relationships

My past mistakes

I won't dwell in them

The past is the past

All I can do is learn from it

All I can do is use it for motivation to continue to fight

Who am I?

What will I do with this gift of life?

What will I do to impact others through my diagnosis?

One step at a time

One day at a time

I know I'll be alright

I know God will give me strength to continue to fight
