Right now, I would tell you I am doing better.

I would tell you that all is right

within my mind,

within my world,

within my reality.

I would tell you that things are looking up

from the bottom of this well I am in,

from the dark abyss of my conscious,

a place to where I often stray.

Right now, I would tell you that life has never been better.

I’m starting to feel like myself

more and more each day.

I have the energy, the time, the patience

to give myself what I need the most: validation.

I have the confidence to look at my reflection and say

“I am beautiful.

I can live with myself today.

I love you.”

And as I exhale these words,

these beautiful, touching words,

I feel my spirits start to rise,

floating higher and higher

I feel lighter than air.

Weightless is how I’m feeling right now.
