A quick note about this wonderful new poem by Tony.
It’s good to see that people speak openly about mental health problems to reassure those suffering that there’s help there when they need it.
I think the biggest uplift is to know that somebody cares giving hope to their lives.
I wrote my poem remembering what one of my friends told me when they were suffering from bad depression. My friend is a lot better today thanks to the help of some trained professionals and close friends.

How deep within my soul I feel the happenings of each day
So hurt my mind in turmoil by the things that people say
It started long ago, so far back in the past
I never knew what started it and the darkness that it cast
I fear and dread what lies ahead in the shadows that I see
Each day I pray there’ll come a day when these feelings cease to be
Nothing to atone for being alone for a loner just like me
And with my head held high I will laugh not sigh so everyone will see
And a new day a new way will change me and fill my life ahead
And the horror of dreams where my inner brain screams will vanish from my head
And my mind be at peace when the nightmare’s cease and my body’s replenished with new zest
And the hope that it brings like a choir when it sings with my feelings returned to their best
A Change in Life 20th May 2014 by/Tony Gorman
To overcome adversity is the hardest thing of all
Trying not to slip back in those ways that at first had made you fall
Each day when you get out of bed you focus on positive ways
Averting all those troublesome things that gave you worrisome days
And in time your new path in life will give you peace of mind
And relieve you of your misery with the new ways that you find
And each time a dark shadow tries to cause breaches to your day
You’ll learn to cope within your mind and cast it far away
And with each day you’ll feel at ease to face the things ahead
For life is just for living, as we’ll be a long time dead
So reach out to those around you for the help that they can give
And remember you’re important so its time you start to live
