Progression

Closing eyes and stepping outside of self
I watch the out of body experience unfold
Anxiety is a monster
That takes over the body

Whatever else hasn't been attacked
Setbacks will occur
It's a given
I tell myself

That's the progression of recovery
The mind is a powerful stimulant
And can take over all thought process

I turn on the music
Soft, lilting
New Age
Wafts
Into the runaway train
That is my mind

As it douses the
Marinating thoughts
I know that tears
Are a way to let the pain go away

What I need more then
Anything is to give
Myself an internal hug

My one progression since
August 1st
Has been
Inching forward

No matter the shaking
The fear
Face progression
Head on

Do not give the
Thought setbacks
Power

You are the power
Recovery is the power
Life
Love
Peace
And faith
Is power
