Array ( [sid] => 62191 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => All I Can Do Is My Best [time] => 2004-09-01 13:02:41 [hometext] => it is now time to face my demons from my past, or I'll never be able to be happy..... [bodytext] => I’m going to try my very best,
To rid what is hurting inside my chest,
Hopefully my love will keep me strong,
Keeping me where I truly belong.

I have taken the very first step,
For once my actions I don’t regret,
As I have chosen the right path to go,
This one is one that I wish to follow.

I will try so very, very hard,
To clean out my cluttered back yard,
There are things that I must now face,
Things that are too powerful to erase.

My strength has been buried under doubt,
Trapped & not been able to get out,
But I will not be defeated,
By an illness that’s conceited.

It will be difficult as I face my past,
Hopefully my recovery will be fast,
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared,
My demons are of that which needs to be shared.

Letting go of my past will be a hard task,
Please be patient that’s all I ask,
& love me, please don’t ever leave,
My pain will be just like when you grieve.

I am letting my ghosts finally die,
As they leave me I’m sure I will cry,
These are things I have carried for years,
Although hurt, I am used to living with my fears.

To let them go won’t be very easy,
But no longer will they be able to hurt me,
I will at last be free to love & to live,
To you my darling I have so much to give.

In the past I have caused you great pain,
You almost buckled under the strain,
To love someone who has depression,
Must be a very hard & impossible lesson.

I will make up for it all that I promise,
I seal this pact with a loving kiss,
Please stay by my side, help me through,
As I couldn’t have gotten this far without you.

Hang in there girl. U can do it and with help it will happen. Take it easy on yourself as no one plans to be depressed it jus happens.
I take meds that help me cope.
You've made the first step and they say knowing is half the battle.
hang tuff and one day you'll be free of the demons.
luv, huggs, faith, hope strength, joy,
emy
