A New Beginning

by Joanne Gill-Maddick

 

I suffered from depression and anxiety since I was eleven years old.

There's times I thought I was going crazy this I surely know.

I was painfully shy all thorough the years.
When darkness overtook me, life was filled with many struggles and  fears.  


I always felt inferior to others I found it difficult to express how I felt.

I had retreated into myself because of the hand I was dealt.

No matter how hard I tried the words just wouldn't come.
I felt so sad and lonely inside, my spirit had grown numb.

I listened to too many lies that shattered my self esteem.  

I allowed myself to be bullied by others who were just downright mean.

I sought help and came to terms with a very painful past.

I cried an ocean of tears but I knew the pain couldn't last.

Here's to happy turns it's a new beginning you see. 

In spite of all my struggles therapy was a life changer for me.
