From black to green
I feel enraged
Stuck in this cage
The Black dog beside me
The pushing down
My mask isn't working
I manage to frown
When I'm out on a social.
I afix the mask it's a front
Most think that everything is fine
If only they new I was towing the line
It's not good when you have to fake it
PTSD life is really s**t
It's dark its dank no one can see
Deep Inside what happening to me
The road to recovery is long and bendy
It's hard to laugh and be friendly
But as the equinox is round the corner
The time leaps forward
We get an hour longer
The sun beating down on your face
You feel your life is changing for better
Living of grid out of the rat race
Balance on the branch and write your letter
Positive thoughts and how far you have come
The anxious feelings beating around your body
Slowly descending the going down of the sun
Balancing the light you have to embody
This is the sanctuary that you deserve
A place of positivity and tranquility
Calm down those feelings and just observe
This is your place of stability
You can sustain real life
Feel your body experience the new light
Being strong being rid of you strife
Your disability does not stop you fight
Go forth to the valleys be one with nature
See the red kite flying high in the sky
Smell and feel the things on the glacier
It's not your time to say goodbye
Hear the ground crunching underfoot
The smell of smoke carried on the breeze
As you walk foot by foot
See the new Buds popping out for light
The earth has began its regeneration
The weather now is fine and bright
No more time for separation
Remain positive you will beat this curse
The beautiful countryside will give you help
I hope you will understand and converse
Talking to others is the beginning skelp
I know you just cannot see
But just read this verse for me
Your life will benefit greatly
It is a long journey from the dark cage
Sometimes you will feel rage
Take some advice and you will be seen
The journey is from black to green.
