the process of bettering one's self, whether physical or mental, never comes easy - especially when it's an effort at a return to form after a time.

Speaking of exactly that and how well you expressed the struggles and difficulties here, @moeknows, good to see this poem, my friend!

Definitely missed your writings, and glad to once again see the reassuring sight of them on my timeline, haha.

All the best always, good sir!
