Thank you for being there,
I thought that you wouldn't really want to care.
But you do and my thinking was wrong,
You decided to stay with me after I had bombarded you for so long.
If it wasn't for you, wouldn't I have made it this far,
Before you reached out my life was blacker than tar.
Now my life has become clear,
With you to turn to I no longer have to cry a tear.
I can see that the colour has came back to my face,
I no longer look at myself as being a disgrace.
I can now go out and have fun with a friend,
And know that this fun doesn't have to end.
I hardly even get a craving,
I'm now in control of the way i'm behaving.
But at night I do find it hard and frustrating,
But and the end of the day it is progress i'm making.
I now belive in myself,
The Becky we once knew is high on the shelf.
All I have to do is take it day by day,
All this progress is down to you because you decided to stay! ! !
