I’m getting back to a good place just now after suffering from a bout of depression and wrote this poem this morning as an expression of where I am now and some of the ways I used to get myself here.
We only have one life to live
So live it large, play and give
Some would love the days we own
So try and smile and never moan
We all have trials and things that test
Just courage up and do your best
And if its hard just break it down
Do a little each day to beat that frown
Focus on just one or two tasks
The joy at finishing will break your masks
And soon the false smile will start to be real
And joy returns and you can feel
The gift we’ve been given is to make a mark
So trust in that even when it’s dark
We own the power to spread the light
And harness others to join the fight
So do your best on every day
It will get better if you live this way
Harness your inner love and might
And focus on making it right
Be kind to yourself, live each day your way
Don’t focus on what others might say
You can only do what’s here and now
It’s the only way to get back to your wow
We only have one life to live
So live it large, play and give
Some would love the days we own
So get out and smile and never moan
