Therapy

I want to heal

to feel the things I feel

so I can step back into the real world

without fears

of what was

and what ifs

it's therapy that lifts me to a place

a space

a state of mind

where I am ready, open, and able to find

the sign that things will be good again

it doesn't matter where I've been

it's where I'm going

and that's all part of showing up

showing up for myself

my mental health

fixing the broken parts I set upon a shelf

then never returned to

proper treatment is the glue

that puts me back together

and I am forever grateful for the people

who believed I could be whole before I believed it myself

as a team

we took those broken pieces off the shelf

gave them love and attention

made them strong

ditched the thoughts that tell me

everything is either right or wrong

instead

we focused on what it means to feel

I go to therapy because

I want to heal
