“Better”

“There is a place that’s in between, It’s hard to find and rarely seen But if you work and search it’s there, you only find it through self-care For some that includes therapy, for others it means meals times three For some it means ten pills a day, we do self-care in many ways I know it’s isn’t always fun, But it’s a task that must be done To stay here and to really live, remember the alternative Remember self-destructive nights, Terror and internal fights Dissolving into fits of panic, acting out when things turned manic Diving into dark depression, Binge and purge in quick succession Starving to make up for it, Cut to make it all just quit Round and round and round it went, never pausing to relent Revisit what this felt like so, you’ll have the good sense to let go To keep on caring for yourself, to keep on trying and getting help And knowing that there is always hope, and support out there to help you cope
