Light
For so long I've been in a real dark place
Hiding away from the things I couldn't face
Drowning in sadness,enveloped by gloom
Day after day I'd sit alone in my livingroom
Curtains stayed shut,mind closed off too
Nowhere to be,nothing I needed to do
Days and nights merged into one
Didn,t know when one ended or when it begun
Not that it mattered,I didn't care
Wasn't as if I needed to be anywhere
People would come,I didn't answer the door
Eventually they didn't come anymore
Darkness and sadness had engulfed my soul
Depression had come and swallowed me whole
Being alive had stopped being a pleasure
Life was something I now didn't treasure
But slowly the dark clouds are shifting
The depression and sadness are lifting
Each day I feel able to do a little bit more
My heads getting clearer,my heart is less sore
Things are starting to look a little more bright
I'm half way down the tunnel.......and I'm seein
