One would think
Retraining the mind
Is the name of
A science fiction movie
But it's really not
One can do it with things like
Dreams
Where while inside a nightmare
To stop and revert it into
Something positive
While still asleep
It can be done
I've done it with dreams
Now I have to do with
Waking moments
To not think about
What it was like then
As opposed to now
Because now is
Better
Different
Alive
And back then
It wasn't
It was ill
Collapsing
Not knowing
Dying
So with due process
Retraining the mind
Is a must
In order to move on
From the negative
The past is gone
Thankfully
I have never had any regrets
In my life
Towards anything
Which considering
I had no say over
What happened last year
Is somehow
A blessing all in itself
I know my recovery
Was and is the greatest of all
But why did I get so sick in the first place
We are only supposedly given
What we can handle
Per lifetime
But G-d had to save me
So obviously I couldn't handle it
What does all of that mean?
Perhaps someday I'll find out
Why this reason was just for me
In the meantime, I just inch forward
A bit at a time
Retraining my mind
Consciously and subconsciously
Toward the optimal future
