THE VICTOR
THE VICTOR
Ouch, the depression had hit hard
My coping methods were just as bad
Drowning in whiskey while popping a pill
Deep down I was ready to write my will
But then I thought about trying therapy again
I decided to stop avoiding my friends
A positive hobby did also ease the pain
Anti-depressants helped me tie up loose-ends
Went deeper into pouring my feelings on paper
Stopped the drinking and tried to stay sober
Quitting drugs did prove to be harder
But I knew I had to continue being a fighter
I did stay in touch with my sponsor
And this is how I slowly started to conquer
Once in a while the panic makes an appearance
It is just like bumping into that one ex
So yes, I do get the urge to give up and care less
But I’m strong, I know that my feelings are valid and;
I’m never going back to that dark abyss…
