I fell apart into
A thousand pieces
Twenty years ago
And it’s taken almost that long to
Sew myself back together.
Piece by piece
Part by part
Brainwaves being rerouted
Into their proper places and
Neurons being soothed into
A serene state of being through
Medication
Exercise
Diet and
An honest job.
It’s been a
Monumental task
That exhibits how
Self improvement is
An endeavor worth pursuing
For even the most flawed
Human being.
