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"
