Dark clouds surrounded me Where the skies were once blue My mind filled with ill thoughts Telling me what to do The river flowed down my face Rushing to the ground Silently crying Not making a sound My head was throbbing Heart pounding so fast Crying hours on end Wondering how long this would last At times I thought of ending it But I knew that wasn't right It wouldn't be fair to my children Mommy not tucking them in at night When little eyes looked up to me I reassured them "mommy will be ok" "Grownups get sad sometimes" But did it have to be this way? Something had to be done This shouldn't persevere I had to seek help The answer was very clear There is a stigma that goes on For those that don't know much When it comes to mental illness They say medication is a clutch It saved me from drowning Was the life vest that helped me swim Since then I've grown stronger See, everyone gets to win The dark clouds drifted away Sunny skies now took its place Laughter has filled the room Im taking life on with grace

Sunny Skies
Dark clouds surrounded me Where the skies were once blue My mind filled with ill thoughts Telling me what to do The river flowed down my face Rushing to the ground Silently crying Not making a sound My head was throbbing Heart pounding so fast Crying hours on end Wondering how long this would last At times I thought of ending it But I knew that wasn't right It wouldn't be fair to my children Mommy not tucking them in at night When little eyes looked up to me I reassured them "mommy will be ok" "Grownups get sad sometimes" But did it have to be this way? Something had to be done This shouldn't persevere I had to seek help The answer was very clear There is a stigma that goes on For those that don't know much When it comes to mental illness They say medication is a clutch It saved me from drowning Was the life vest that helped me swim Since then I've grown stronger See, everyone gets to win The dark clouds drifted away Sunny skies now took its place Laughter has filled the room Im taking life on with grace
