What was I thinking when I entered here
Everything seemed so far and so near
I was scared, overwhelmed, and had so much fear
I have God, a Great Family, and Friends who are so dear
I came into something where I had no idea what to do
You ask yourself: what, when, where, why, how, and who
You feel a sense of guilt and being trapped, too
And; in life, you realize how much the journey is true
I sought out for myself a time of recovery and to heal
After several years, I would learn that I had restricted a meal or two (and I was very good at this) during the course of day
In my mind, I always thought that I could make the ultimate and the right choices for myself
But, as time went on; my health and my body would pay
As the days would go by; I would learn to love my body on the inside and outside, as well as my mind
You realize there will be days where you are ahead and some where you are behind
I learned how to love myself (a work in progress) for me and how to heal
And; God, allowed me to learn, to cope, to deal; but, most of all to heal
Thank You; God, for loving me and accepting me for me!!!
