RELEVANT TO RECOVERY



What’s relevant to recovery

Is relevant to me.

This obvious discovery

Is just how it should be.



Let’s think and use some logic

To analyse this theme.

Let us be more specific

And tell of what we mean.



To recover implies returning.

And getting something back.

It’s health for which we’re yearning

Or getting back on track.



Returning to ’my’ normal state

Is not what I would seek.

For ‘normal’ was an awful fate.

Ominous, cursed and bleak.



I wish to stay away from that

Which made me what I am.

Bullies, bastards, cads and rats

Are those from whom I ran.



I don’t need all that gamesmanship

Abuse from head to toe.

Nor poisonous relationship.

They do not help me grow.



I need a safe and peaceful place

A space where I can be.

Loved and liked with warm embrace.

And friendly company.



It would be good alongside this

To have someone to trust

When life’s not right and goes amiss

Support is then a ‘must’.



A ‘good’ professional near at hand

Is worth their weight in gold.

As long as they can understand

And listen to what they’re told.



Experience, knowledge and some skill

To help, not hinder me.

I do not want to get more ill.

Because ‘they’ cannot see.



I’m not a ‘subject’ to report.

On what is bad and wrong.

I want ‘appropriate’ support.

To help ‘me’ move along.



When chaos and emotion reign.

I need a safe abode.

I need to know I can stay sane.

When in a crisis mode.



What is my life - I ponder death.

When living seems futile.

I try & try with every breath.

To make it seem worthwhile.



To recover is to live.

And try hard not to die.

It combines the take and give.

It gives reason back to why.



I need to stop and think and plan.

To find what works for me.

I need to work on who I am.

And who I want to be.



I want to change and I will work.

To achieve my goal.

I do not wish to go berserk.

I need some self- control.



Can you help me in this task?

This is my brief request.

It does not seem like much to ask.

It could be your best bequest.



With your power, skills and wealth.

And your' prized profession.

You could help my mental health

And help avoid regression.



I want to stay self-organised.

I want complete control.

I want my life more harmonised

In heart and mind and soul.
