I’m a Survivor of Myself

I’m more then my mistakes

Then my actions

Then my past

I’m more then the 18 antidepressants

I took

To end it all

And I’m more then the 2 weeks

In the hospitals

Im more then the seizures

And the being told I did it for attention

Im more then the fear I caused

And the depression I had

Im more then my flaws

And my history with mental health

I’m more then the Complex PTSD

The generalized anxiety disorder

And the weekly therapy sessions

I am more

And I will continue to be more

Then the person I was

And the things I struggled with

I acknowledge I’m still facing things

From my past

But I’m also acknowledging

How far I’ve come

And my progress so far

Im acknowledging the growth

In my relationships and in me

And the newfound confidence I’ve gained

Im acknowledging the person I am now

Knowing I will never be

The person I was again.

I am a survivor of myself.
