The Road to Healing

I feel alone 

I feel alone when I am alone 

I am feel alone when I am with family 

I feel alone when I am with friends 

I feel alone when I am in a sea of strangers 

 

But I must remember that my feelings are not always correct 

That feeling alone is a cruel trick my mind plays repeatedly 

 

I must remember to breathe and take a step back 

That everyone around me loves me and is here 

That my therapist is on speed dial 

That my medication only works when I take it 

 

So I will relax and breathe 

I will tell myself that I accept peoples help when offered 

 

Even if I don't truly believe it 

 

I will push myself to call my therapist when things become too much 

I will take my medication 

 

Tomorrow I will not wake up and feel any different 

 

But maybe next week I will 

Or next month 

Or next year 

 

I must remind myself a 6 minute mile is the same distance as a 14 minute mile 

 

This is how I will move forward 

This is how I will heal
