The days are like they are brand new
So much hope inside this body of mine
Where did this reality come from
It wasn't this way years ago

I was filled with so much fear
I couldn't step outside
I couldn't talk to you
And explain what was happening

It was like a force had me *******
Gripping my inner being
Stopping me from living happy
Like a veil of darkness was hovering over me

Today isn't the case
It has disappeared for the time being
No more lonely nights
Scared of ever falling asleep

It's like I've been released
The grasp isn't holding tightly around my neck
It has been removed
And positive thoughts are taking its' place

What a relief it is
Now I can explore the world
No more hiding in dark corners
And thinking about dark things

Can it be a miracle?
I can't say
I'm just so happy
That I can live a life today
