Ok to be OK

 
Hello again Depression..

My persistent life long companion..

I'm all out of pharma medications
to glaze over your bitterness
about my life 
of unfulfilled expectations..

So maybe it's time 
I summon the personal courage
to finally face you down..

Cause I'm so sick and tired
of crushing introspection
and all the attached angst.. 

These self inflicted complications
clouding every perception
that need not be murky
if only we can embrace acceptance
that every self generated imperfection
is in fact
a validation of our flawed humanity..

Once this internal fix is accomplished
these mood pills
on which I have been so dependent
can be happily flushed away
down the drain of self improvement
