The walls around me were white
My soul felt trapped
airtight
Flashbacks of my first day
Did they really leave me here to stay?
I glanced to my left and then to my right
“You don’t belong here, you better fight”
Voices rang my eyes dropped as low as they can
I did belong, I just wasn’t well
Spirit on low, thoughts that you’ll never know
Visions of what my life could be
Was it true or was it all just a fantasy?
Misconceptions all day
I couldn’t believe I had let this get to my brain
I just wanted to escape but I knew this was my place for the time being
I wrote and wrote and wrote
Until my heart felt less broke
And once It did I looked in the mirror
Reflection looked extremely unfamiliar
Fore I was so used to the sadness
It’s almost as if I had lost all of my balance
But I knew deep down I was there
I just couldn’t see it, I barely cared
It took some time but I recovered
I didn’t lose anything I only uncovered
Deeper layers of myself
Journal writing was my help including God
All I did was write I took that pen as my fight
I’m better now than I was back then
Because I learned how to be my own bestfriend
How to love myself unconditionally
It’s a struggle still but I consistently
Try and try and try
That’s all we can do and sometimes I
Still slip up, I still fall down
As long as I pick myself up for the next time around
I will persevere as long as I stand my ground
As long as I don’t forget and I know my worth
No more tears and no more hurt.
