Recovery is linear

That's what my dad told me

That's what my teacher told me

That's what my therapist told me

That's what the hospital staff told me


Recovery is linear

Yesterday I was flying,

and tonight I am dying.


Recovery is linear

Some days I love my scars

Some days I wish they were gone

Some days I wish they were deeper

Some days I wish there was more


Recovery is linear

Sometimes I wish I never took the pills

Sometimes I wish I had taken more

Sometimes I wish I had ate more

Sometimes I wish I had stopped eating


Recovery is linear

Attempt after attempt, Yet I do so well at hiding.

Attempt after attempt, Until one nearly worked.

Attempt after attempt, I remember everything in that hospital.

Attempt after attempt, I was discharged from the crisis team while I was dying in a hospital bed.

Attempt after attempt, I'm already planning my next.
