Crashing Thoughts

still breathing

I've been so close to death.

So dang close.

I had lost my ability to see what this beautiful life has to offer.

Several attempts later.

I'm still breathing and I'm alive.

It's been hard with surviving with so many inpatient stays, different kinds of therapy and realizing my self worth.

I often wake up and fail to see the beauty of this incredible earth.

I know that each day I get stronger and stronger.

The fight never leaves my mind and

I may struggle with fear of the unknown.

But I do know that these feelings do not define me.

Yes. I may have an illness but I'm not going to feel trapped if I have a say in it.

Life is hard. But it is also beautiful.

Each day is a struggle and it's a blessing.

I'm choosing to live life and walk into a life that I'm not ashamed of.
