How To Self-Care

Walking on a silk string
From where I was to where I'm going
If I keep checking off things of my to-do list
I'll keep growing
For the time I don't have therapy
Let me learn to let myself be
Not lay the pressure on too thick
Make sure I stay on grid

Take my meds with vitamins
So I don't focus on
The fact that though I tried, and tried
I can't do it alone

Just yet, or ever
You must keep it together, when
Figuring out how to self-care
It might take forever
But it's better late then never, I'm
Figuring out how to self-care

It's a full-time job
Ain't nobody had told me that it was gon' be this hard
To stick to these simple actions
Make sure I'm fed and I'm rested
Do the dishes right after I cook (and)
When I get overstimulated
Light a candle
Pick up a book

Take my meds with vitamins
So I don't focus on
The fact that though I tried, and tried
I can't do it alone

Just yet, or ever
You must keep it together, when
Figuring out how to self-care
It might take forever
But it's better late then never, I'm
Figuring out how to self-care
