The Beauty of Mental Health Treatment
I see her, I have always seen her
Her light was covered but not extinguished
Reaching back and down, over and over while the waves crashed around her
The waves rolled over the love people felt, pulling and pushing them away with great force
The rages, the hatred, the pain
She kept trying but failing, trying but failing
To pull herself out of the darkness
Thick, thick darkness no light can shine through
Fighting to see the light again
To feel love again
Missing the smile, the laughter
Having help to pull her, a chance to climb
Because she had the tiniest bit of hope
To grab hold of anything real and solid
The love of family and those around her, the skill of doctors, the magic of medication
She sleeps
Not in pain of a crash in her mother’s arms
She sleeps peacefully
She wants to feel love again
She sleeps
Not out of exhaustion but out of calmness
She sleeps
In her mother’s arms
Feeling love again
