BACK TO REALITY

by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

Leave me alone
Take me away from here
Get me back to my heaven
Back home to happiness;

I’ve got a one way road and it’s destined to change;

Give me the faith to keep on moving,
Show me the light that shows the way,
Unlock my door to a wilderness of eternal thought,
And shed the blood that had grown old;

Free me from all depression,
And unlock these chains around me;

I’ve grown wings despite the spider’s web,
I’ve learned beauty despite the thorns,
I’ve learned to go on despite the pain,
I’ve survived.

Reason for writing:

    Last month I went through a depression after hearing that my mother might be leaving my dad and that my dad has admitted to being an alcoholic. But through it all, and all that I have been through throughout my life, someone sat me down and knocked me hard with how life would be without me here and I just had to think- maybe life isn't so bad afterall. Maybe things will get better eventually. I've survived so far so if I could survive all that, I can handle anything.
