I’ve been working on myself
I’m getting there
It’s hard to do
But please be fair

I get anxious easily
Please don’t pressure me

I’m working on myself
I’ve been getting sleep
And remembering to eat

I’m listening to my body
And trying to respond
So please don’t act like you don’t see

I’m working on myself
I’m going to therapy
Hopefully they give me anxiety medication
So I can have full clarity

I call out the hateful thoughts
And replace them with
Soft talks

Just please be patient
Healing takes time
The poetry helps too
I’m learning to rhyme
