The weight of the world
Is no longer on my shoulders
No longer do I worry about what others say
Or what they think
I'm happy with who I am
As for the drama
I just brush that off
There's no need for me to get
Wrapped up in that like a blanket anymore
The only tears I cry now
Are the tears of joy, for no longer do I have sorrow
The eyes that used to show the pain
Of a painful past
Now sparkle with the promises of tomorrow
And now I can let people in my heart
To show them the real me
And share a real smile
With genuine happiness
Now that I've let go of the past
To go on today
And face the future
Without any fear or doubt
Author notes
Most of you know about how I've been struggling with depression and not having really too much peace within myself and all that other stuff. I wrote this before I went to my last counseling appointment before I go to college 
Enjoy.

Darling - be counselled and be better. College is a BIG good fresh start. Be who you'd most like to be. My money's on you wanting to be yourself. Above all, be you cos you're gorgeous and be you and be happy. That's a fucking order - love, the bad mouth mummy!! (Know this sounds really terrible, but I have 3 teenage kids and I understand that life is really hard for so long and then it just bloody well gets harder....) Get out there and trust yourself. xx
