DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN (If Madea ever had got over a depression ... )




Now, I can plan and remember stuff
I can do a bunch of stuff at once,
I go to sleep when I lie down
I get hungry and eat a lot

I like music and dancin again
I like to sit on my porch, and watch the fireflies and smell the breeze
I can stand it when someone gets mad with me
I can talk without losing track of my words
I can work hard
I can do my work in order
I can decide what color to paint the livin room
I can take a leap of faith
I've got hope and energy 
I sing in church like there's no tomorrow
I'm not worried
I can take it when things don't turn out
I don't have to sit down every five minutes
I can keep going
I wake up after 7 hours, and don't have to sleep 10 or 12
When I get hungry, I eat
When I get thirsty, I drink
I do most of my jobs every day
Time just flies by because so much is happening
I remember to get everything at the store
I'm getting things done more ev'ry day
My house is scrubbed and redded up
I water the plants and they're perky
I feel like I have something to look forward to
I can take care of myself and the neighbors too
I laugh at people's jokes
I cry when someone else does
I don't lie around and set around all the time
If you ask me ahead of time to do something, I'll agree to it
I don’t have to  make excuses all the time and be embarrassed
I don't stop people at the door, but invite them on in
I don’t say, “if people only knew how bad my life is"
It's so good to have energy and be out with people again
I don't lie in bed in the daytime no more
The “dark cloud” went away
I don’t have any weights on my arms and legs
I can hear bad news with no panic
I'm not so overwhelmed and thinking everything is hard 
If there's a job to be done, or a need, why, I just get up and do it
And if I don't want to do it, I've got a pretty ___ good reason!
