“WHERE I FIND COURAGE”
Sometimes I fall in slow motion
Like silently sinking to the bottom of the ocean
Sometimes I fall so fast
So fast…. I almost get whiplash
But it all ends….. in the same dark hole of despair
Desperately reaching and gasping for air
The dark memories of my past come flooding back
The voices in my head paralyze me as they attack
When I feel stuck……lost and alone
With shame spiraling me into the zone
How do I help myself?
Where is my courage?
I look and listen to the little things
The sounds of my children laughing, my wedding rings
It’s on love that I rely
Their love is strong and raises me high
It helps me find my way again
A hug, a smile, a talk with a friend
Slowly I crawl myself out of that hole
My face turning to the sun that depression stole
I want to stay in the light all the time
But anxiety and depression steel it, a crime
I have to hold on to those I love
So I don’t lose myself and come undone.
I tell myself just breathe and remind myself, I am loved
Things will get better and I am loved….I am loved!
