Rise and Fall

up from the walls of jail a prisoner in my own hell I Rose failing health for so many years imprisoned by my doubts and fears I Rose shackled by deep depression I knew I must keep pressing I Rose back to health and my life rid myself of all the strife I Rise now for you I do my very best I guess I just wasn't up for the test I Fall all I do for you is not enough why do you have to be so tough I Fall critisizing all I do is nothing good enough for you I Fall rising up from the ashes I will gracefully take your lashes on the mend I WILL RISE AGAIN

It must be hard to deal with such deep depression and still maintain hope that you "will rise again." Keep the faith, TuLisha! I hope it all works out for you. Love, Carolyn
