Because Randy Asked Me To
For Randy Baker's Prompted #5 challenge.
Slicing through the canvas
Dancing on the stars
Catching the breeze before us
So grace glides to where we are
Meeting in the middle
Navigating more than just the sea
Escaping clouds and puddles
To find the better part of me
Rhyme is lost for reason
Reasons we can’t comprehend
To stay results in treason
The unknown plans we understand
Let’s throw away the compass
Wander wild into the day
Live our lives uncharted
(is there any other way?)

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.
