Reset Not Restart (a poem)
#4 of Poems
The siren drowned me today. Well, just got to cough the water out of my lungs and swim again tomorrow.
Friendly reminder that there is a difference between "I am a failure" and "I have failed". I hope you always think in the later.
I'm drawn to it but I'm drawn to other things too.
I failed but I'm not a failure.
I feel bad for now but I will recover.
I was doing well and can do so again.
I relapsed but I learned.
I lost but I became stronger.
I hurt myself but I will heal.
I'm sad but happy I tried.
I was weak but I still found strength.
I stumbled but I will stand back up.
I crashed but didn't burn.
I sank but can rise again.
I am better than who I was two months ago. And that's the truth. I can do just as well and better.
