Lying in the darkness
In pain and alone
Out jumps a message
Four words I’d forgotten

A wave takes over
A dread settles in
I thought this was over
I’ll not let you win

I’ve got over this darkness
I’m out the other side
I’m standing by a rainbow
Regained my pride

And yet maybe a little
I’m not quite there
How many more years
Will I suffer in here

My mind in a battle
My heart slightly torn
The stitches keep opening
Just smile and carry on

Fake it til you make it
Re-frame the hurt
You’re a powerful soul
And beauty you exert

Breathe and smile
Give yourself a hug
You’re doing great
Love’s the hardest drug
