Acclimatized.

I was misdiagnosed too many times,

saved myself from all the lies.

Escaped to a far off place

and now I have acclimatized.

I survived the darkest hours,

made it through the worst storms. 

April showers bring may flowers,

soon I'll be back to normal.

Assimilated today,

maybe one day I will know greatness. 

Surround myself with only positive

and now I feel so elated.

Thought that I knew everything

but I barely knew a thing.

Once I accepted this truth,

my soul began to sing.

Buried under avalanches

and even lost at sea.

Volcanic ash surrounded me

until I was a victim of my own misery.

Tornadoes and tsunamis of terror twisted inside of me

but the landslide brought me down, to Earth again.

No longer afraid to falter now that I am my own best friend.

“April showers bring may flowers,”

— Acclimatized.
