I already posted this in the forum, but wanted it here for my own records as well:
Depression Robbed Me…. 3/14/13
Depression robbed me of my dignity
Depression robbed me of my pride
Depression knew just where to find me
When I tried so hard to hide
This disease has taken away my beauty
This disease has taken away my drive
This disease would not leave me
No matter how hard I prayed ...

(dont worry....this one's not about depression)
Falling Awake 07/23/03

As i await the blissful blinding that is sleep
And I am drifting now, my memories are muted
The pain appeases as I float i...
Darkness Visible 03/31/2013
Torn and twisted, tortured, sordid, tainted, turning mind.
Darkness, dankness, depths of sorrow, desperate search to find.

I felt like these kids were my kids, and my kids...

Staying in control becomes all-important, and mistakes are intolerable. Somewhere, somehow, there's a critic keeping track. And there's no such thing as resting on your laurels. A perfectionist does not feel peace.&n...
When I look back at my life,
I see all the things I’ve done wrong,
The heartache and the strife,
I thought I was unbreakable and strong.
How I wish I could turn back time,
Just so I could change things, it’s true,
My life’s been an unspeakable crime,
When all I really needed was you.
I had been to hell and back,
But somehow knew I was never alone,
And when my blue skies turned bla...
A woman of strength,
Has courage to face the day,
And the confidence,
To handle whatever comes her way.
A woman of strength,
Has so much love to give,
And more compassion,
It gives her a reason to live.
A woman of strength,
Can face trouble with more hope,
Face adversity,
Always finding the strength to cope.
A woman of strength,
Can take the bad with the good,
And learn from it all,...
