THE FIRST STEP

Surrounded by four walls,
Trapped within yourself.
Trying to hide from the devils calls,
No way back, trying to reach for help.

As we progress in our diease,
We start repeating one lie after another.
In our minds we truly believe,
That it's okay and we got it together.

Then as the walls begin to close,
And everything looks very dark.
All our tricks everyone knows,
One by one your loved ones and friends begin to depart.

Then comes the day when we have to face the black knight,
When we have reached that final depth.
For it's the higher power that shows us the light,
And guides us toward our first step.
