Getting Better
How do you know when you’re getting better?
Do you feel it in your skin? Do you know once the scabs start to fall off?
Do you feel it in your stomach, finally able to keep something down?
Does it hurt a little? Your head begins to recollect where you are.
Can you hear it through voices? Does everything sound sweeter?
What about your room? Are your blinds open for once? Is it no longer dark?
Maybe it’s in the air. Does breathing feel comfortable once again?
Do you feel safe for the first time in a long time?
Are the self-help books working for you? Did you read every page?
Have you touched someone lately? Have you felt their touch on you?
Are you no longer bored of living?
I’m not.
