Take the First Step
It creeps up on you, others can see it though.
A rollercoaster lifestyle, a life without a flow.
Don’t eat, don’t sleep, don’t do a lot,
I can’t explain, it’s this thing I’ve got.
Forgot how to smile at one stage,
And would break into unruly rage.
I scared myself to seeing him though,
To regain my lifestyles flow.
I talked, I cried, he listened to me,
Once more I felt I could be free.
A chemical concoction to help me through,
Re-balancing the conscious ‘til back to new.
It will always be there, deep in my mind
But I have stored it away, difficult to find.
The smile’s returned and I’ve gained control,
The longer you leave it, the bigger the hole.
