It's Been 5 Years
It's been 5 years
But I still remember exactly how it felt
Sitting on the psych wards cold tile
Mind spinning through hell
Racing though my brain
All the things I'd never see
Graduation, love, happily ever after
At 13, diagnosed with severe bipolar, left with nothing to believe
Even though the picture is crystal clear,
I know what my life is now
Graduate, passionate about a major
Dedicated to bringing people like I used to be around
From the other side of the glass
It saddens me to see
People ready to give their lives to the sadness
Defeated eternally
That's why prevention is my life cause now
The reason I will get my degree
The reason I live and breathe
The reason I write... please?
