i think the reason i'm scared to recover
is because i don't know who i am

what am i without my mental illness.
where is the girl i used to be?

she is not here
she barely exists in memories
i cannot become her
she can no longer appear

so maybe i am scared to find out

that maybe i am nothing at all
