as I lock myself in my room
not letting the sunlight in
I pull my blanket to my head
And make sure the lights are dim
It begins to become a cycle
All of my time in my room
Until one day I decide
To remove myself from this gloom
I step out into the sun
As if I’m seeing it for the first time
And although it may burn my skin
The feeling was painful yet sublime
All those days spent in my room
Not knowing why or how
I take my first step in healing
And it's starting just now.
Through seeing the beauty of nature
We begin to admire ourselves again
