My Private Army Poem by Noah Body

I sit here alone in the world,
My mind a mess, my thoughts awhirl
My eyes turned in not out
Wondering what my life's about

Down at the heels,
Nothing is real
My face is so long
Where'd I go wrong?

So dark is the day
And I just want to say
Enough is enough
Why's this so rough?

Then THE miracle of all
A new thought does fall
Bringing with it a light
That shines ever so bright

I'm counting it wrong
So don't go along
It's not all as bad
as I could've had

There's an army out there
Who really do care
They strengthen my will
More then any pill

I've family who need me
Who want me to be
Contented with life
Not full of strife

Grandchildren to love
Gifts from above
Given me to hold
Even when i grow old

Parents who only see
the best side of me
Like bedrock they stand
To lend me a hand

But best of all I've a friend
That God to me did send
A very special friend
Who won't let it end

She'll be there always
No matter what I say
She keeps me sane
when my spirit does wane

How lucky am I
Now I'll spit in the eye
Of the depression that weighs
On my soul all these days
