The reason I have made it this far,
Is not because I am coping or feeling even close to okay,
But because in those fleeting moments where I can almost touch happiness
I realise that, eventually, those moments will be everyday and the ones of severe emptiness will be the fleeting ones.
So when I think about escaping, I think about how nothing is permanent;
Contrary to what this illness makes me want to believe.
