For the first time in awhile, I feel like I'm on track.
I don't have that constant feeling of needing to watch my back.
I can see and feel the sunshine, beating down on me.
I'm no longer everyday sending the gods a constant plea.
Things are falling into place, slow but sure.
I'm feeling better even knowing there is no cure.
I've found love, and this time I know I won't let it go.
And I'm headed in the right direction with my life, this I know.
The dark days seem to be past, at least, for now.
The depression seems to have actually taken its final bow.
At least, in this play...I know it could come back.
But for now, that angst is definitely something that I lack.
My friends and family are supportive, and caring. They're the best.
My nightmares no longer plague me, I can finally get some rest.
The anxiety has been swept away, lost on a distant breeze
And I no longer feel immobilized, I've been able to unfreeze.
Things are going as they should, for once in this life of mine.
And when I say I'm fine, I actually mean I'm fine.
It's been so long since I could say I like the way I'm livin'
But now I'm finally taking the opportunities I'm given.
Honestly, I have no one to thank but me.
Because I opened my eyes and let myself see.
Living in the darkness is not living at all.
So now I live in the sunshine, standing tall.
It wasn't an easy road, that's the truth.
But I traveled it, and did the work, never mind my youth.
So, if you take care of yourself, and maintain your each and every need.
You'll grow to a strong tree from a small seed.
