Overcoming Anxiety and Depression

My heart was a mess I was in complete distress but I laid those thoughts to rest and now I'm trying my best Holding on to the memories but never looking for more than a moment at the past For my eyes stay forward and leave the past at my back Stay positive, stay hopeful, don't let the world leave you a mess I used to be afraid of failing but I'm soaring high above distress Facing my fears head on and conquering the anxious voice inside I ignore that bitter voice and love is all that will reside Hate will not consume me, control me, i wont let it doom me or ever again even know me The thoughts of depression are much more than a lesson It taught me that happiness is where I am destined You cannot have the good without the bad, this I know So I'll let the sadness blanket over me like a frigid winter's snow But I will not stay there in that deep abyss of sorrow Because I know with sadness comes happiness and there's always tomorrow Without sadness, happiness loses its astounding appeal I want to experience every emotion, I want to know that it's real To fear is not living, it only takes without giving, and the life i was living, was more than misgiving The regrets and mistakes that I had made were all just trial and error I will not let this depression instill me with unnecessary terror So let's reach for the skies and break free from this awful vice We only get one life, one chance, so let us dance away into blissful paradise
