Looking back over the last few years
I think back and remember all the tears
The pain and the sorrow that had taken me
Left me down in the dumps more than I should be
Slipping into a bout of depression
Hiding in my room, no place for the sun
Seeking the cold dark solitude
A place to hide from attitude
Shivers slowly sent down my spine
No more powers above, No one devine
Alone in my fortress, quiet and dark
Trust me this is no walk in the park
The clouded skies, dark and dreary
Leave me feeling alone and weary
A safe haven from this pain I seek
To no one other than myself will I speak
The sun and joy too much to take
Happiness and love no piece of cake
The bitter sweet smell of love in the air
Makes one think you could really be there
The shadows invade my body and soul
Taking my mind, pitch black as is coal
Reciting my vow I made in secrecy
Alone forever I swore to be
You cant bring back someone from the depths of dispair
Pulling you in while gasping small amounts of air
They want to be free, just as I wish to be one day
But that day is not today, for that much I can say.
A gleam of light when I see that hand reach for me
Scared I try and grasp it, what can this be
Freedom from the thing I fear the most
Depression is gone and in this I can now boast
