Land Softly

Christina8

My self harming days are in the past

and so are my sleepless nights,

When all I needed was an excuse

to throw myself into a new plight.

 

So many people in my inner circle

never knew of my secret agony,

Nor did they know of my panic disorder

And all that this demon took from me

 

I know now I had to do the work

Proverbially jump and grow wings,

Fly high and then land softly

But nobody tells you these things!

 

So this is the last I will say

As you are growing tired of my ordeal!

But I will continue to grow

And in absence of medicine, to heal

                We're not tired of it. Michael says 'From strength to strength...' That's one tune name to 'Soldiers of Christ, arise'. 'Tis you as one of them!
                See if you can find a video of it - a triumphant tune, e.g. lines of: 'Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well fought day'.

                • Christina8
