Recovery
So,
I ended my rehab
Today
Today marks the first
Of many
Long days
Of recovery
Of healing
Of becoming myself
Again
They say this
Process
Is like a continuous
Trek up a steep mountainside
I’ve already had my fair share
Of rollercoaster rides
I’ve already made a fall
Through the heavens
More than once
I’ve already came down
With a sickness
I’ve already tried seeking for help
I’ve finally found the help
The help I always needed
I found
Myself
Once again
Before I began my trek up the
Mountain
I looked back
And saw where I came from
What I endured
What broke me
And what made me
Then
I looked forward
I saw what I wanted to be
What I will become
What will never break me again
Who I was destined to be
I made my mind up
That I will never
Settle for anything
Less
I made my mind up
That I will not go back
To that place
Again
I closed my eyes
The world around slowed down
Slower and slower
To the sound of my breathing
I became one
With my surroundings
The wind filled my lungs
The sounds of the Earth filled
My spirit
I took a deep
Deep
Breath
Power filled my soul
I took my first step
And another
And another
I don’t know
What lies ahead of me
I don’t know what obstacles
I’ll meet
I can’t see the mountain peak
Yet
But I know it’s there waiting for me
Don’t cut your journey short
Not anymore
No one said this road would be easy
I just pray to God
That I don’t
Relapse
The End
