on mental health

On my good days

I am like sunshine

extending out to reach the farthest corners.

On my bad days

I am like fog

overwhelming, thick, impossible to navigate through.

On my best days

I am certain that I am cherished beyond measure

that everyone who loves me does so unyieldingly.

On my worst days

I am certain that I have never known love

that no one could possibly see past my tenebrosity.

On my best days

I see possibility everywhere

nothing could hinder me.

On my worst days

I can not see a reason to go on

I plan my escape route.

On my best days

the light shimmers and dances

even when there is none.

On my worst days

I simply can not recall

ever having known light at all.

Then there are all the days in between

because life though black and white

has so much grey.

I am the amolgamation of all my

bests

worsts

in betweens.

I am still learning to love me

at anything short of my best days

I am still learning to love others

at anything short of my best days

because the one thing I know for sure

is that I still have a lot left to know.
