I lashed out the other day

Not knowing why

It’s not the first time I lost my damn mind

That moment will be remembered by all

I have tried by myself for months

To control it

It’s like the problem got bigger

I called my therapist today

She say It’s time for a change

I picked up a new script

She said start this today

No more acting like it ok

No more pretending it didn’t happen

No more hiding the pain

I take this new dose

It took a few weeks

No more lashing out

No more uncontrolled behavior

Less screaming

More listening

Man I’m so proud of me

That one call

That one change

Took me to a more happy and calm place

The tincture of time,

my nursing instructor said,

was the very best dose,

instead of reaching for a med.

Whether we are sick from an illness

or sick from the thoughts in our head.

Turning inward, giving grace,

finding the right space or looking to be lead…

Time may be all you need to find your way back to peace.
