Feeling So Down

I just want to hurt myself
I just don't know why
My family's my world
Now I need to cry 

This is so really bizarre
Feel like driving a car
I can't do that I've had a drink
Am I really on the brink

Its a dark place I'm sat in 
Switch on the light 
Let my life begin 
I'm ready to fight

I've had a good day 
and beaten the thoughts 
Happy with all of my cohorts
But now it is night 
the bad thoughts are strong
Trying to convince I dont belong

What is going on in my brain 
I know I'm not really insane
A bit confused at this time
Fight it now get in line

Its really hard I must confess
My head says one thing
My heart says the rest 
I need sleep that's for sure
Tomorows the day I find a cure

After a little sleep I do wake cranky oh for goodness sake
The same feelings are in my head
Remain positive the counsellers said

A new day begins so does grounding
I'm so down need to look at my surroundings
Listening to the chirps of the birds 
Telling me not to be so absurd 

Feeling the wind upon my face
I'm  a member of the human race
The smells around me are so sweet
Brings me back too my feet

Take today as a new beginning 
The new chapter of me winning
Black dog still sits on my shoulder 
But hey I'm another day older
