yesterday is not today/ you asked me to recover

i couldn't decide between titles so you get two XD

yesterday i was broken
but today i am healing
close your eyes
breath deeply
yesterday i was healing
but today i am not quite there
inhale, exhale
count from one to ten
yesterday i wasn't quite there
today i know i exist
stop shaking, unclench
stop trembling relax
yesterday i knew i existed
today i know i don't want to
don't bite, just scream
don't cut, just cry
yesterday i didn't want to exist
but today my scars are faded
let yourself smile, be proud
scream inside, they're gone
yesterday my scars had faded
today i want them back
believe that you don't need them
without them you are still real
yesterday i wanted my scars
today i am certain i will survive
live one more day
tomorrow will be even better
yesterday i was certain i'd survive
today i know i'll live
laugh out loud, its safe to
grin ferociously, let them be scared
yesterday i knew i'd live
today i am alive
fell the blood pounding, roaring
singing symphonies inside
it doesn't need to be visible
to be beautiful
tremble all over from the
ecstasy of living
yesterday i was alive
today i am aware
tomorrow i may be empty
thats ok, healing is a process
it may take time but i know
eventually tomorrow will hold
you. and you will be proud

The journey of emotional recovery is a very tricky one
And can be quite painful

But worth it
The light on the other side of the tunnel is always closer than we think

I vote for the first title. Recovery is a dance with forward motions with occasional turns and backwards steps. It starts out slow as you learn the steps..you feel awkward and embarrassed..but you get better until you finally begin to enjoy.. then can't wait.
