Found me in the cornor of the highschool gym
I didn't think anyone had followed me in
You said it'd be alright
You'd said it'd be ok
I knew they were lies cause you said it to everyone, everyday
"You've got everything to make it in this world"
And you name the qualities of a perfect little girl
But that's not me; it'll never be me
Then I raise my head and opened  my eyes
You saw me
I saw you
Through our tears
You said " You're gonna make it, if you can take it"
Then I told you for strength; then I told you for love
"We're gonna make it"
"WE'RE gonna make it"
The reality that I've forever hated you for said
"You're gonna make it alone, if you can take it alone."

Don't know where you are or how you've been but i want you to know:
I made it and I can take it.
I wrote this round about my one year anniversery realease date, after which I was no longer considered at extreme risk for readmit.  It is about a conversation with Allan,  a MHT, who found me hiding in the dilaptated gym of Partial towards the end of my tour o' duty.
