The pressure of the pain inside,

Formed diamonds in my mind,

Tempting me to throw it in,

To leave it all behind.

‍

My mind sitting in dark rambling,

What pulled me out was friends and family.

They taught me love and affection,

Because of them I had hope through connection.

‍

I can’t believe I was once so lonely,

But now my heart feels warm and homely.

This world is one I no longer fear,

My mind is straight and spirit is clear.

‍

As I walk this path of self-discovery,

I now have faith in my recovery.
