Turning 40: A New Dawn

(Soft strings play)

Turning 40 with eyes wide shut,

Reaching out for help, but I feel stuck.

This weight feels heavy, like a shadowed friend,

But in the dark, there’s a chance to mend.

Forty candles flicker, but the flame feels cold,

Memories of laughter now whispers of old.

Days blend together, and the nights don’t end,

I’m standing on the edge, searching for a friend.

With every heartbeat, the silence screams,

But in your eyes, I can see my dreams.

You hold my hand, and the world turns bright,

In the shadows, we’ll find our light.

So let the rain fall, let the healing start,

In this tangled web, you mend my heart.

With every breath, I’ll learn to stand,

In this fight together, we’ll make our plan.

With ketamine’s whisper lifting the veil,

It’s a new tomorrow, but I feel stuck.

This weight feels heavy, like a shadowed friend,

But in the dark, there’s a chance to mend.

Forty candles flicker, but the flame feels cold,

Memories of laughter now whispers of old.

Days blend together, and the nights don’t end,

I’m standing on the edge, searching for a friend.

With every heartbeat, the silence screams,

But in your eyes, I can see my dreams.

You hold my hand, and the world turns bright,

In the shadows, we’ll find our light.

So let the rain fall, let the healing start,

In this tangled web, you mend my heart.

With every breath, I’ll learn to stand,

In this fight together, we’ll make our plan.

With ketamine’s whisper lifting the veil,

It’s a new tomorrow, on this winding trail.

Forty years of battles, scars I can't see,

But in your laughter, I feel I can be.

The weight of the world, it can bend and sway,

But through this storm, I’ll find my way.

With every heartbeat, the silence screams,

But in your arms, I can live my dreams.

You hold me close, and the fear take flight,

In your embrace, I find my light.

So let the rain fall, let the healing start,

In this tangled web, you mend my heart.

With every breath, I’ll learn to stand,

In this fight together, we’ll make our plan.

With ketamine’s whisper lifting the veil,

It’s a new tomorrow, on this winding trail.

Oh, the past can haunt like a thief in the night,

But your love gives me wings, carries me high.

Every shadow fades, a promise in sight,

I’m winning this battle, holding on tight.

So let the rain fall, let the healing start,

In this tangled web, you mend my heart.

With every breath, I’ll learn to stand,

In this fight together, we’ll make our plan.

With ketamine’s whisper lifting the veil,

It’s a new tomorrow, on this winding trail.

(Soft strings fade)

Turning 40, the night turned to day,

With you by my side, I’ll find my way.

Strong through the laughter, resilient in pain,

In the joy of your presence, I’m alive again.
