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 ...

Torn and twisted, tortured, sordid, tainted, turning mind.
Darkness, dankness, depths of sorrow, desperate search to find.
Some sort of light or way to climb back up out of the abyss.

As a teacher and Director of a school of 350 children, of which 100 are k and 1st graders, this was a very difficult thing for me to process. It shook me to my core and took me a long time to grieve. I felt like these kids were my kids, and my kids...1 Recommendation"Perfectionists try to live up to some imaginary benchmark because their sense of self-worth depends on it, or because they feel the need to keep up a facade. 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...1 RecommendationWhen 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...1 RecommendationA 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,...1 Recommendation2 Comments
