step outside
My head filled with worries big and small
Can’t shut them out no relief at all
All is quiet there’s hardly a sound
I’m all by myself no one around
Yet the deafening noise fills up my head
It leaves me frightened and filled with dread
The old me was strong she could cope
But now I am just a useless joke
Can’t leave my house wont step out the door
I just exist I have no life anymore
I tremble and shake can’t handle it all
I’m in such a mess so timid and small
I look out of the window see life pass me by
Hiding away in my house I just want to cry
I want to be free to live my life again
I have to be brave or inside I will remain
A friend calls by will hold onto my hand
To walk outside is what we have planned
It’s just in the garden but it feels like I’ve won
I’m delighted to feel the warmth of the sun
I will take small steps it’s a long road to climb
But just for now I’m doing fine
