Acceptance
Sleepless nights, congested mind
Emotions fast, unsettled and lost
Clammy hands, hard heart beat.
Loneliness and silence, I am alone.
Losing control, who am I?
Strong mind, quietly resilient
Remembering and reminding
This is me.
Flaws are bare, I am proud.
Clammy hands, hard heart beat.
Empowering and controlling.
I win.
Tired and beaten down.
Body slow and weak.
Rest for now until tomorrow.
Then I will fight once more.
Fight for normality, for calm, for peace.
