I sat on the couch,
In tears but with a smile.
Happy and satisfied,
Relieved of the stress I’d carried for a while.

Afraid of being alone,
I would sit and often cry;
But now I found hands of some,
happy to walk with me.
I hoped to be happy in loneliness;
But was happy with a group around.

A long way I have yet to walk,
But I have overcome with the fear.
The fear that’s been eating me for years now;
Has now breathed to death.
I am free bird ,
Whose feathers have now stretched;
Flying towards the sky,
Believed to fly up and down,
But now never to lose hope again.
