Best Recovery From...Change Poems
A Note to Self
You and you alone
can make the change
in your life to make it
brighter!
Self
Self you need to try a different angle
Years of trusting the wrong person
Has left you frazzled and depressed
Enough
Enough self-inflicted wounds on your heart
Cease the long waiting to exhale
Stop blaming others for your misfortune
Change
Make a change for your heart’s health
Flip the scrip this one isn't working
You and you alone can change yourself

One More Medicated Peaceful Moment
If I could look in the mirror and like what I see,
There would be no more criticism or picking apart everything that’s good about me.
I’m feeling stronger at this moment,
Hoping that it lasts, I’m feeling more confident.
Trying my best to look at things positively,
But it’s a fight ill be fighting indefinitely.
I can’t change my genes or go back and re-do my childhood.
All I can do is try to re-shape my crooked path always remembering how important it is to
be me and remember to laugh.
If I could go back and change things,
I’m not sure if I would.
Because all of this bad helped me become something incredibly good.
I have problems like most everybody has,
But at least i'm learning.
And not running from my past.
If I could only show you,
for 1 day,
what you do to me.
The confusion.
The hurt.
The thoughts.
The fear.
The tears.
The pain.
All this you bring to me.
But not only to me.
To my family.
To everyone I know.
You do all these things to me,
but most of all you change me.
You change everything about me.
My happiness.
My thoughts.
My love.
My laughter.
My tears.
My hurt.
My pain.
If I could only show you,
for 1 day,
what you did to me.
You embarrassed me,
you took every move I made,
good or bad,
and used it against me.
You made my life horrible,
and I hate you for it.
But If I could show you,
for 1 day,
what you did to me,
I wouldn’t.
Because no matter how horrible you are,
Nobody deserves to go through that.
