Anxiety and fear loom over me again

Tenaciously they smash at my door again

With unrelenting strikes they try to break in

To wreck my thought and attack from within

The clouds of doubt and contempt hover above me

Ready to overpower my staggering mind

But then, with an unflinching strength

I shall hold them at bay, as long as I can.

I vow today, and henceforth, I will

With all that I have, hold my ground

To last I shall fight, no matter what

And never yield to despair’s hideous plot

I have suffered much, and bled a lot

As I tried to stay along the right path

But this world so treacherous and vile

Forced me to stray and lose my track

Now I wander in this strange land

Without fetters I roam like a freed man

I savor the joys, I abhor before,

And now renounced the values of old.

Perhaps today, I am no longer me

Looking back, I see bitter and sweet mem’ries

I know, I can no longer undo what is past.

I can only be, what present wants me to be.
