I am recovered, what should I do?
I am recovered, will you still be you?
Will you be same, or will you be new,
When I recover from what I've been through?

Can life get better than it was before?
Will I realize my dreams and improve my score?
Will people still remember my name,
Or will they forget me because they're ashamed?

Life in recovery may not be the same.
The rules may have changed in this brand new game.
I can pick up the pieces and make a new start,
And courage and hope keep you from falling apart.

The world all around you seems different and changed.
Things that once were now seem out of range,
But I can recapture your life and fulfill
The dreams that were lost when I got ill.

The journey to wellness takes time and is long,
And those that get well are exceptionally strong.
For depression can kill, but I have survived.
My goal to recover has kept me alive.

Now I am recovered, what should I do?
I suffered and conquered and you saw it through.
Back from the black and abyss of despair,
It is time to move on; it is time to care
