Reflections XI
- shifting the perspective...
Because you cannot be doing things
Like this without putting everyone
On edge about you and making them
Feel you are a danger to yourself,
You have to expect the response to
Be you getting committed to a ward
Without the need for your consent.
Because of what you did and how it
Came about for you to do it, they
Naturally assessed a serious danger.
Agreed, it is a very humiliating place
To be in, but you clearly needed help,
They could not leave you to your own in
This state. Surely, you realize that?
Try to see it from another perspective,
They had to work hard to bring you back,
And they do not do that when things are
Going well, you know? Forget your shame,
Your embarrassment, and do take the help -
Maybe this time you will find the missing
Bit that will finally make it all stop.
After all, you have come this far...
Tell me, what do you have to lose?
You have figured out a whole lot
Of other difficult stuff already.
Remember, some took a lot of time
For you to resolve, so it is not
Outside the realm of possibilities
That you can for this one too.
You have to keep on trying, ok?
