Better

Life is easier and it is harder.

I now have knowledge of myself and can breathe again.

I walk outside and fill my air with lungs and I feel clean.

I feel new.

The world is me, but I am not the world.

I control myself but I do not control others.

I can still breathe.

Asking for what I want is not a crime,

Nor is it a crime when people do not follow through.

The world is me, but I am not the world.

I control my life but I do not control theirs.

I am new, but I am not perfect.

I still have problems, but that is okay.

I am better and I am striving to be better.

I am whole but I still have cracks beneath the surface.

That is okay.

I am okay.
