One Day At a Time

Been told by others the following: You are weak You will fail You will not achieve The funny thing For a moment I actually believed I had to find out on my own Just how strong I am I drew out my plans Stood tall as a man Soon I would understand When I didn't think it was okay to be on medication Now I realize it's perfectly normal It took all the pain and frustration To come to the realization That I need medicine to function I tried many different kinds Some made me sick Others had bad side effects I felt like time bomb ready to tick I didn't like what I see I didn't like me I hit rock bottom I hit reality That I can change I started journaling Started to write poetry and music again Reflected back on where I've been Realized its all about "Taking it one day at a time"
