My Recovery
By: Erin
You have no clue where I have been
You have no clue, the scars on and beneath my skin
The trauma I’ve experienced by day
All the ways my illnesses have led me astray
So Stop
Hold your tongue tight
Before you judge me, compare yourself to me, or criticize me tonight
You climb my many mountains each all the way to the top
Remember – you don’t get a break, or get to stop
Then jump into the one thing you’ve been afraid of down to the bone:
Life, the future, the uncertain, the unknown
My Recovery
It is mine
Unique by design
Twists and turns
Breaks and burns
It is mine
Not yours to discuss and define
My Recovery
Hold your tongue tight
Be my friend tonight
Climb to your top your own mountain tops and view
I’ll do me; you do you
But let’s cheer each other on the whole hard way through
My Recovery
It is mine
I’ll do me; You do you
