I Am My Cure


I am

an individual who, 

was once lost.

 

I was found 

Found,

in the cracks of the concrete,

in the soil deposits of the water,

in the fallen leaves of the trees,

in the lost archieves of the internet,

Yes 

I was found.

Found by a stranger I once knew

Found by spirit from within

an older self returned.

 

Returned

to save me. 

Returned to

 face every fear with me

every tear

every cry

every sweat

every drop of blood

every relapse

every breakdown

 

Progress!

I am better!

I am stronger!

I am a believer

in Myself

I am my own cure!
