lost, broken, and hopeless
that’s who I used to be
constantly battling demons within
past abuse, neglect, self destruction
was all I once knew
not liking who I was becoming
but knowing I wanted a better life,
wanting To experience
what true happiness means
deep down I found the will
to fight for the
sunlight beyond the darkness of
depression
I started the long walk on
The unstable road to recovery
each moment of everyday being
A challenge of its own
at times falling backwards but somehow
always remaining strong and hopeful
continuing on the road of recovery

You've reached out to me with this write because lately I've been tryin to move forward but I just seem to keep falling and havin to try pull myself back up. I have sorta given up hope but now I know that maybe I can make it. So thanks x
