Rhythm of Life

The journey of recovery from mental illness

Anxiety and depression ruined my life, I cried, I cried.

I thought I just needed to work a bit harder, I tried, I tried.

I told myself this was just a phase, I lied, I lied.

Anxiety made me think I was no good, I failed, I failed.

Depression left me cut off and adrfit, I sailed, I sailed.

I had become a prisoner of my own mind, I was jailed, I was jailed.

But with help and support I saw there was hope, I could change, I could change.

Things could be different, I could try a new way, it felt strange, it felt strange.

The horizon that always seemed so far away was in range, was in range.

The past was gone, the future was mine to find, to find.

By living each day right in the moment of my mind, my mind.

I learned to forgive and look after myself, to be kind, to be kind.
