Dawn & Dusk

If you rearrange the word ‘depression‘, you can form the phrase ‘I pressed on’.

Sometimes, recovery is just about getting from dawn to dusk without giving up.

The sun rises
A new day starts
But morning for me
Is when my heart goes dark

A long shadow
Is cast over my day
As towers of hopelessness
Stand in my way

With every step forward
The dread deepens
But after awhile
I see the darkness weaken

It is when the sun
Starts to set
That the fires of hope
In my heart, are relit
