Back to a Light
Life thought to be good till one week it happened.
Early on, common space violated
shared space that has an agreement
broken by her because she thought she was better.
Anxiety triggered, a speech that was broken.
struggles to talk, reaching out for help.
Medication needed, therapy more than ever.
A move to a new place, but depression creeping over.
Darkness overwhelming, light wanted
A friend made. Support created.
Life continuing through the year.
Speech fixed and improved.
Family for the summer with an unknown.
Summer same. Never home.
Always working. Always adjusting.
Back to school. With more support.
A pet, my best friend
Merlin there through stress, unwanted anxiety
and depression.
New found peace until
untold stories were spoken.
Hidden truths to keep a peace.
But home again for happiness.
A new change taking place
so that the family will be happy too.
A major change that shows a wisdom.
Insanity long gone, coming back
to a healthy mind.
Happy habits returning
A true person long gone from the stupidity of one,
back to face a reality that is better.
A darkness almost gone for a light
to embrace the person that was.
