Better times ahead

[Fatpot]

For nearly two years, I battled with severe depression. It got to the point where I set a date to kill myself.

 

I was broken, I was at the end of my rope, and I was ready to go.

 

However, a good friend of mine stuck with me through the whole thing, supported me, carried me through the whole ordeal.

 

Throughout these past two years I've been posting in the poetry section and I thank everybody that supported me.

 

This is the final poem I'm writing and I hope I didn't prolong my stay in these forums for too long.

 

Thank you everybody and I hope, no, I know there will be better times ahead.

 

"Better times ahead"

By: Fatpot

 

What a haze,

What a daze,

What a phase,

 

As I listen to this song,

I wonder what went wrong,

Going through thick and thin,

To find the answer deep within,

 

Now it's fine and we're all doing good,

I can only knock on wood,

Hoping that we'll never go through that again,

Twiddling our thumbs wondering when,

 

I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss it,

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not going to revisit,

It's just that it was such a journey,

Could've ended up on a gurney,

 

I'll never forget what you said that day,

I know it was hard, you were trying to find a way,

To toss me some hope and that maybe I'll hang on,

Counting the days before I was to be gone,

 

I miss those days man,

I really do and I really don't,

But there are better times ahead,

There are better times ahead.
