Struggling With The Blues

Struggling With The Blues

 

An uneasiness permeated through my soul

With anxiety and depression familiar foes

keeping me from everything

and the joy that life can bring

 

I was reluctant to admit

That I suffered quite a bit

And felt trapped in the shadows

With all my terrible internal battles

 

I didn't know where to turn

To escape the fire that licked and burned

There inside the depths of me

Giving me such agony

 

I grew tired of being brave

As I faced the demons each day

And prayed for them to leave my mind

And let the good things stay behind

 

A friend then gave me strength

As I teetered at the brink

And helped me to be strong and brave

As I faced those darkest days

  

I knew all I had endured

And that I’d gone through hell for sure

But God helped me clearly see

He had sent the friend to me

 

Since that day I've been happy

With many friends old and sappy

And have come to appreciate

All the friends I have made
