[hometext] => This is about recovery in rhyme. Have mixed the verse construction to ephasise the madness and frustration I felt. Hope this worked. Please comment.
[bodytext] => Be Well Again The maelstrom of madness and misery that is depression has been lifted By the therapist through my heart soul and mind he has sifted The pain of recollection of memories mainly tragic has been a drain But I feel the illness that coursed through my body flow away like poisoned rain No more living a life that has been a constancy of Hell Where I shook my fists at God I would scream I would yell Where was the equity in life the parity or a scale Against which I could be measured against a normal healthy male And given a comparable existence in which I was well On top of this all I was dependent on drink Which cursed the ability to act or to think My memory was clouded and in speech I just mumbled And in action I was slow, I was childlike I was humbled So down down down I continued to sink God bless all of the strangers the medics who cared to act And took a broken human being who with baggage was wracked I never truly understood the cause or reason for my blight But I’ve tried I have endeavoured with all of my might And confronted the beasts of beasts with whom I did fight To regain that purpose in life which sorely I lacked So now I stand before you the Renaissance man To advise all who suffer to fight for you can Take hold of the angst all the shame and the pain So like me you stand tall and are well once again [comments] => 1 [counter] => 128 [topic] => 19 [informant] => aliopterix [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )
