one year ago,
suicidal thoughts flooded my head,
and the only thing telling me that i'm alive
was the pain self destruction made me feel

one year ago,
i was a mess
i was alone and - even worse -
lonely

today,
my therapist told me to look at my life
and tell him what i've learnt

"it gets better", i said
he smiled
"it gets better"

it takes time and patience,
breakdowns on the bathroom floor
and sleepless nights

but damn it,
you'll make progress.
that's what i've learnt.
