the crux of the matter,
is that I'm reaching out
my hand in the dark
& I'm praying
you're reaching out too
We're not meant to be
alone
We should never feel
alone in a room full of people
or lost amongst people we love
Don't assume I don't feel joy
over new marriages, jobs, houses, babies
or that I'm not glad
your life is going well
My happiness doesn't change my joy for you
it just tints the view of my accomplishments & dreams
Depression isn't a foreign concept
I was just hoping
I'd shored myself up this time
that I was strong enough
to fight this alone
but I'm not
No, I'm not drowning
& I can still see the stars,
but I need new focus
new hope
Renew my spirit, LORD
Show me the hand to hold
the safe places & harbors
you've blessed me with
& a light so I'm never
alone
