There was a time when
Nothing could go wrong
When I was happier and
I held to that for so long
The days are different now
They drag on and I feel older
But the love in me hasn't died
My body has only grown colder
I have to push toward the light
Make myself believe in me again
But I don't want to have to fight
Because I'll have to until the end
The pain I've had to endure in this life
Has made me suffer and gets me crying
I may not ever find an end to the strife
But I know I'm a better person for trying
So today will be the day, I try to start again
I cast off my sadness, with my smile beaming
I'll embrace my new life without any restraints
This is too good to be true, I must be dreaming
I'm changing for the better, no stewing in sorrow
I'll look ahead, and no longer live my life in the past
I'll live my life how I want to, like there's no tomorrow
Yet I need to ask myself, how long will this feeling last?

Aw yay you wrote something hopeful. I knew you could do it.
I really loved this. It's inspiring on so many levels. Lovely rhyme and flow. I have a feeling it'll last a long time.

I hope so, along with the confusion paranoia and bipolarism brings, it's hard to keep a grip on what's important sometimes.
Let's hope I'm able to maintain my positive outlook on life years down the road.
