Recovery

I'm sure that I will survive
The answer soon will arrive

I am totally confused
Then again minds not amused

In the deep pits of despair
The family show they care

I cannot grab the sharp knife
That's wont be fair on my wife.

I must remain tall and strong
The truth is that I belong

In the fortress of my fear
The strange voices I do hear

I will beat the nasty thought
The skills that I have been taught

I'm amazed how far I've  come
The thoughts have began to run

I will stay on this journey
That is part recovery
