Getting better is hard
Sometimes it's being in a desert and feeling as if you'll never be able to see the water.
Sometimes it's the coldest nights of winter and thinking you'll freeze to death.
Sometimes it's trying to sleep after an exhausting day but your mind would just not stop thinking the worst scenarios.
Sometimes it's wanting to cry so much but the tears won't come.
But you get better/slowly /gradually /painfully /you do get better
Like one day you are better and smiling at the tiniest pleasant thing in your life/
& the other day you are crying because you can't find your black pen/even though it doesn't matter/the black pen /I mean/
but you are not crying over the pen/you are crying because you wear better the other day/weren't you /then why not today/
but must know you can't be better all the time /it's okay if your not better today/be better tomorrow or maybe after a week/whenever your heart and mind is ready /don't hurt yourselves trying to be better/
after all, you can't be better if your hurting.
