Welcoming

Give me something I can touch and can feel
Give me something I know is real
Not something that my mind tells me is true
Give me my heart back you have ripped it from my chest

Give me the life you took away
Give it back to what remains of me
Give me back the blood I let fall because of you
Give me the two years I will never regain

Filled with grief and sorrow
I want a second chance for a life of wholesomeness
A life filled with hope and happiness
A happy life eludes my grasp by so little now

My life gradually fills with hope
As I begin to move on from you to better things
My depression is fading fast
My razor blades have began to rust with no use

A smile creases my expression for the first time in years
I am finding happiness in simple things again
This smile is no longer fake
This is the true real me

I have began to move on from a broken down past
I begin to laugh for great reason
Tears no longer from these cavernous blue eyes
All I can really say is

I am welcoming a new me
For now and forever
I should be blissful and content with life
I have given two years of my life to depression I will not give anymore
