Stage 5: Acceptance

Calm and joy sink in
"Only one bad day a month..."
bearing that what is

Stage 4: Depression

Darkness coils within
"Unlovable yet again."
twisting up what is

Stage 3: Bargaining

On knees with arms raised
releasing "what if..." balloons
changing off what is

Stage 2: Anger

Flashes, hot and red
"Don't do me any favors!"
seeing clear what is

Stage 1: Denial

Eyes and heart closed tight
"It's the depression talking..."
blocking out what is
