The Difference A Day Makes

Yesterday I cried,

and my body flashed hot

like a firework

before - BANG.

My food came back.

I hit my head.

I thought,

I may as well be dead.

Yesterday I feared my death

and saw it hovering over my head.

Today I woke slowly,

took pills,

drank shakes,

breathed deeply - and wow.

I hacked my brain.

I felt no shame.

I learned to shake it away.

Today I understand

what I must do to stay alive.

I couldn’t see it yesterday,

but I can deal with my life today

in my own way.
