Recovery Real Talk

Poetry 1 Minute

I saw my body this morning

I saw it in the mirror

I wandered and I questioned

I pondered and I lessened

The thoughts I had

The mind went racing

I ran chasing

But lost it out of sight

Run faster

Run faster

But I couldn’t keep up

Falling down

Down

Down

I’m trying to climb a slide

Trying to go up this slippery slope

But all it wants from me is to

Stay down

.

I see my body

It’s starting to fail me

Depleting

Deleting

Retreating

From me

It says goodbye

But I want to say hello

What can I do

Am I stuck

Or is there a way out

Help me body

Don’t leave me alone

I still want you

But my mind is telling me go

Go

Go

Go

And

No

No

No

Help me

Catch it before it’s to late and I’m wasted

.

Help me

Help me

Im screaming inside

But will the words ever flood out

That I just don’t know.

Im here though

Just see me please, before for me

And everyone else it’s too…

Too late.
