Remission

I had a terrible disease
it was eating me alive
slowly destroying me from the inside
every day I bared this burden alone
for the world just seemed hard as stone
but for now it has finally gone away
and there I do hope it will stay
that my future may hold a happier day

Now I am happy to say,
that the disease that took me from inside
the one that tried to keep me from being alive
it sheltered me from having a light in my life
and kept me close friends with a knife,
has finally slipped away

I became so filled with joy,
like a child with a new toy
and now i may finally be
free to be me...

now that my depression
is in remission
