Leave my bed

Here I go again
Another day I have to get up
Another day I want to just lay in bed.
I can't,
My stomach feels queasy,
I have to go to work
I have to make money.
I just want my bed.
I can't lose myself again,
I have to get up,
I have to shower,
Brush my teeth,
Look in the mirror and hate everything I see
I have to tell myself I love myself.
I have to be positive ,
Because if I don't
I'll just stay in bed.
I say I have to
Because if I don't,
I'll end up back in bed.
I have to leave for work 45 minutes early
Or I won't go.
I know what I have to do for myself to live,
I go through the steps,
I go to therapy,
I take the medicine,
I do all of this so I don't stay in bed.
No matter how better I get
My bed will always be there,
I can't rely on it anymore.
I have to keep fighting,
Because if I don't
I won't leave my bed.
