I thought that was who I was
a person ill-equipped for life
lacking self-confidence and unhappy
Mental health problems
and behavioural challenges l
Neither can they be dismissed
as mood swings of an adult
One day in the early hours
sitting with a laptop
unable to sleep
for fear or panic attack
I lived like this
for about six months
I can't tell exactly
my life was a blur
urgency and doom coursed through veins
Not anxious but lethargic
It was terrifying
I was scared
I didn't like myself and couldn't live my life
I lost my mind and feeling
I blamed myself for what happened
My brain seemed gone off and gone mouldy
Had I lost my mind?
An out-of-body experience
I didn't know what to do
Who to turn to
Whether it would ever end
At last I remember
Somebody who suffered
mentally, physically and emotionally
He cried out in deep pain
My God! My God!
Why have You forsaken me?
At last I plugged up the courage
to follow likewise
Lord, God I cried unto You
You heard me and healed me
You brought me out of death
and spared me from the bottomless pit
For the fresh start
I will sing praises to You
and praise Your holy name
You turned wailing into dancing
