It's Been 5 Years

It's been 5 years

But I still remember exactly how it felt

Sitting on the psych wards cold tile

Mind spinning through hell

 

Racing though my brain

All the things I'd never see

Graduation, love, happily ever after

At 13, diagnosed with severe bipolar, left with nothing to believe

 

Even though the picture is crystal clear,

I know what my life is now

Graduate, passionate about a major

Dedicated to bringing people like I used to be around

 

From the other side of the glass

It saddens me to see

People ready to give their lives to the sadness

Defeated eternally

 

That's why prevention is my life cause now

The reason I will get my degree

The reason I live and breathe

The reason I write... please?
