I reclaim my Lungs

I said it!            
I spoke the demon's name              
and like an arc angel you listened until, 
the sadness was slayed silent              
             
Depression              
I render you powerless and spew your darkness in an exhale of relief.              
For too long my breath            
was labored and anxious              
My wrist bleeding to breathe.              
             
Today I reclaim lungs.              
             
...because someone, finally, listened. ❤            
       
"He lifted me out of the slimy pit,      
    out of the mud and mire;      
he set my feet on a rock      
    and gave me a firm place to stand.      
He put a new song in my mouth,      
    a hymn of praise to our God."
