I wish someone told me
I wish someone saw
That I was trying to get done
To finish the race
As if I could have won
.
I wish someone told me
It’s not a comparison game
You’ll be done when it’s your time
Not when ED tells you it’s right
.
I wish someone told me
2021 doesn’t have to be the cut off date
You can work through another year or two
Recovery isn’t linear
And you too can heal
As an adult
You deserve this
Just as much as any adolescent does too
.
I wish someone told me
It’s okay to struggle
To feel
To heal
And not in some bogus way either
But for real
.
I wish I heard someone when telling me
Take your time
Heal
Feel
Let those emotions flow out
And just be all real
But ED became the muffler
I heard none of it
And in return I faked it
And painted a beautiful canvas
Until it looked like I made it
And look where I’m at now
This is me!
