Rehab

So much I wanted to say. So much I wanted to shout. It was like being trapped behind bars without a way to get out. My mind going wild with all these questions of why. The only way to escape was to fall asleep or to cry. What did I do so bad that made me have to pay? My friends, my dreams, and my life was swepped away. I know I can do it! I try and I try. Nothing seems to get better. I sometimes wish I would Die. Starved for attention. I wanna talk to the world. I just miss being loved. Miss the warmth of a girl. Snickers and stairs is what my life has become. I'm treated like I'm a kid, like I'm sick, or I'm dumb. One day to the next. Life becomes work just to be alive. I thank god for my blessings. I thank god I survived. I finally see some improvement. More hope tickles my brain. It was worth all the time, all the tears, all the pain. I awake with a smile and new hope to move on. I did it! I did it! All those hard times are gone!
