Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
It’s my name they can’t say.
That’s why I end up in the hard basket.
Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
I don’t speak in their gibberish coded way.
That’s why I end up in the hard basket.
Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
That’s why I end up in the hard basket.
Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
It’s because I’m so trusting, I easily believe!
That’s why I end up in the hard basket.
Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
I’m compassionate and direct.
That’s why I end up in the hard basket.
Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
I don’t do as they expect.
That’s why I end up in the hard basket.
Don’t you know?
Haven’t you heard?
I’ve given up on what people may think.
That’s why I don’t care about their baskets.
Surely you know,
Surely, you’ve heard.
Follow your gut, trust your instinct.
That’s how you’ll stay out of their baskets.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
