A new way

Making a change

Take my hand and show me the way,
Loosing the strength to make it through the day,
Trying so hard just to be strong,
Pretending to be happy now for far to long,
Why do we act as if we're fine when were dying inside,
Why is it a person's nature to take their true feelings and  hide , 
Say what you feel and you will be free, follow your heart and maybe you will see,
The world is dark and often lonely and cold ,it's not like the children's books or the stories we've been told,
Open your eyes to the world that we live, so many wanting to take , with very few left who give,
It took me a long time to see what is real, took me even longer to remember how to feel,
I became numb on the inside and blocked the rest of it out,
Trying to plant a seed for a new life and hope that it will sprout,
No more being negative and hoping that things change, becoming a new me will be hard and and seem strange,
This is my goal for the New years ahead, this is my dream before the day that I'm dead,
So I stand up now and I'm taking this vow, 
I will become and better man and making these changes is the only way how.

I have a loved one who struggles with MH and severe depression...he finds it hard to make sense of life, finds it hard to be happy....this life is a struggle for most people David. I read a fab poem on here earlier about basically, the lie of childhood. Adulthood is such a massive disappointment sometimes...hugs ?
