Out of the dark

7 years ago
I went mad
Then I went into depression
Then, when I was recovering, my mother died
Then I got a job again
And was afraid of failure for a long time

But now...

Now I sit here and look forward
To an evening listening to music and reading a book
After a long day working
And I'm about to take a walk
Because the sun is still shining

And as I walk I will remember those 7 years
Where I was
And where I am now
Perhaps the simplest way to put it
Is this

I am out of the dark
