The Light’s Gone Off

The light’s gone off, the mood is dark
It’s here again, making its mark
Pushing you down, nowhere to go
Trying to smile but only you know
That the more you try the harder it is
You struggle all day, feel you can’t beat this

The voice is loud booming around your head
You pull up the covers, you just stay in bed
Don’t want to face the day ahead
Just want to shut out the world instead

A small light appears, what is it you ponder
Are you feeling slightly better you wonder?
That sinking feeling isn’t there any more
You’ve got over the hurdle of that you’re sure

Your friends send messages which make you feel better
Emails, texts and even a letter
It helps so much knowing that people care
It makes you lose the feeling of despair

The sun is shining, you’re up & about
You get out of bed, even manage to go out
So grateful for kind messages of support
You tried so hard, you battled, you fought

So even a bad day can be followed by good
You won, you’ve done it, you knew you could.
