Recovery

Freedom
stripped away for proctection.
No self-mutilation
now it's inward aggression.
Safe keeping
at the risk of losing sanity.
Looking healthier
due to increased vanity.
A sober mind
thanks to medication.
Stability
by way of institutionalization.
Insight
gathered from tests and charts.
Feeling again
and it's breaking my heart.
Everybody's so happy and proud
'cause you're turning your sick sad life around.
Complete 180
Shocking
Amazing
But don't you forget you can't hide from me
When you lie down for bed I hear the racing thoughts in your head.
I too have been down there before
all kinds of demons knocking at my door
Has it slipped your mind that I'm waiting for you?
You're not the only one needing someone to talk to.
I'm in this with you whether you like it or not.
You can't change the fact that I love you alot.
