Begone
Doom and gloom, begone I say
I want to step outside and play
I didn't ask you to come and stay
But you set foot in my mind anyway
This last decade you have dogged my life
Filling my mind with fears, worries and strife
Cut my esteem and confidence with your knife
Begone I say, get out of my life
I am going to venture past my gate
To live my life before it's too late
I don't want solitude to be my fate
You are the one thing in my life I hate
Although some people have been pretty hateful
To the people that have helped me, I am truly grateful
I love that you have been so kind and helpful
When deep inside I have felt so fearful
I wish I didn't have to rely on my friends for support
Although past meetings I have often had to abort
Gloom has won no matter how hard I fought
My struggles with it have been for naught
I've decided my mind simply has no room
For all this sadness doom and gloom
I am going to imagine that I have a big broom
And sweep you out whenever you loom
I know I am not alone that's for sure
We all have dooms and glooms we endure
But this life we have is not an overture
But something we deserve to enjoy and treasure
To those that are suffering with this curse
I hope I can help you with my verse
And the stigma to this illness reverse
Before others take their final ride in a hearse
My spirit is willing and I'm ready to go
Courage, please help me as I go
I have things to do and places to go
One step at a time will help me grow
