Recovery from Mental Illness
~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Deep, dark, depths of depression
At one time was all I could see
Not realizing at that point
Recovery was a possibility
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Hopelessness was my daily routine
Too numb to even cry
I lived in depression's shadow
As life was passing me by
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Emptiness had filled my heart
About living, I didn't care
It seemed far too impossible
To recover from way down there
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
Many long, dark, days of lingering
Filled with sadness and despair
Now, I thank God each and every day
I no longer spend my days there
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
