Long Road

This poem is decidated to my mom. I won an award for it at poetry.com

Long road
The day i came i came fighting depressed in fear
i was going down the path of self destruction...
NO ONE wanted to go near
But, you took me and led me to the safest place
which is here...

all the road blocks in sight are passed and everyone
and everything will be alright

Being here hasnt always been a fun ride,
my illness has traveled MANY diffrent routes that I
couldnt hide
but YOU knew where i was coming from and stuck by my
side

all the road blocks in sight are passed and everyone
and everything will be alright

NOW, im in the safest spot and ill never go back to
someone im NOT

everyone will be alright
