I watched the street pass by

the cars, the houses, people

It was five miles from my house to the school

those five miles were miserable

Do I want to get better?

My life restored to its normal state

To end my suffering

to be whole again

Do I stay in this house?

Let it consume me, digest my mind to the point of madness?

Or do I open its doors, take a step outside, and feel fine.

Anxiety would still be there,

lingering over me like a raincloud

Do I let it rain?

or do I project the sunlight to brighten my world again

I reached my destination, nervous, wavering

My hand outstretched, feet hit pavement, I am free.
