all the long nights
all the torn days
you endured the ups
and downs, the
dizziness and daze,
fighting to keep balance
reeling from the pain
seeking ways to heal
ease the pressure
in your brain.
all this suffering
is not a punishment it is
a renewal, a rebirth
messy and full of ache
the drugs will taper off,
soon the pain will
heal, love and time
will repair and take
away all the pain
From the despair you will
rise again, phoenix from
the ashes, the new you,
free to be you again.
