My Depression is the Moon
My perseverance is beautiful like a partial solar eclipse.
Every day you revolve around me, attempting to plummet me in
complete darkness. Before, I let you suffocate me to the point, that my
light nearly disappeared. Now I shine so brightly so even as you still try to overshadow me,
it doesn't matter, because they don't see you unless they are looking at us through a filter. Instead, they marvel at the sight because, yes, I have
pain. Yes, I have suffered. Yes, I have dark days. But I am like the
sun, brighter than the moon as it attempts to block its warmth and light from the
Earth. I may have to live with you, but you will never completely darken me again.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

I took it the same way as depression
Very good. That last line could mean a lot of things.
