Dorothy Leads the Show
Based on "Come and Join the Show, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q37pqbKFx5E
Dark thoughts cling like ink
As the black dog tries to claim
It will take me to the brink
Saying I am the one to blame
I’m sinking, sinking, sinking
My thoughts dive into the dark,
But the dark will no longer rule me
The light soon will spark
I won't sink into the abyss below
Though of my faults I’m well aware
You will see it, it will be such a show
I won't mind if you stare
Depression lies to tangle in
Tries to get me lost to fear
It counts out each and every sin
But soon I’ll be in the clear.
I’m so much more than it can know
It says there’s nowhere left to go
But take a seat, Depression
Dorothy leads the show.
I was lost in the depths of dark
My world filled with fear and dread
But an angel was inside my heart
And she beat the demon in my head
I was sinking, sinking, sinking
My fears ruled my home
But each step since has me thinking
I’ll turn my fear to foam
Won’t sink into the abyss below
Depression’s tricks I’m well aware
My heart it soon will glow
I will soar into the air
No web of lies to struggle by
My path it is so clear
The future it will be mine
As Dorothy does appear
I’ll show all there is of me to know,
Upward is where I will go
Take a seat, Depression,
Dorothy leads the show.
Depression lied, I was not on my own
It made me moan but I found my home
The path before me God’s always known
One day I’ll be before his throne
Go forward wont backtrack
Depression I will attack
It won't make a comeback
It tries to attack, but it cannot hack
My heart is no longer black
No cage for me my soul has flown
I will cling unto the Stone
Soon Depression will depart
Won’t wallow in the dark
It tried to fill me with disgust
So I’d see myself as unjust
But soon my heart will glow
Be a dove and not a crow
Won't sink into the abyss below
Depression’s tricks I’m well aware
My heart it soon will glow
And fly into the air
No web of lies to struggle by
My path ahead is clear
The end of depression is nigh
As Dorothy does appear
I’m so much more than it can know
Upward is where I will go
So take a seat, Depression
Cause Dorothy leads the show

Dot, you're amazing. You are so increadibly honest, it takes my breath away. Normally, I express my feelings through (some of) my characters, giving me what we used to call "plausible deniability." Oh, I don't get depressed! I just wrote about someone who is depressed! I don't think I'm a freak! Of course not! Just because I have character like that in a story doesn't mean . . . . Well, you get the picture.
But you are willing to own the dark side that so many here face, put your name on it . . . and fight it publicly.
For all you do, and all you are, thank you.

in order to get better, I felt I had to be honest
spent too many years lying, saying "I'm fine" when I wasn't.
