Pothering makes clash,
Be calm and inhale deeply,
Prospect will conquer.

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.

Pothering us a new word to me thanks for introducing it to my vocabulary. I must say the poem has a deep message. Great job.
Great poetry! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Pothering, such an unusual word, hmmm, I could use that word somewhere, it is positively divine. A haiku with great advice. Well said.
Amen to that! I love this! Best!

Ooo, I learnt a new word from you today, pothering! Loved your poem!
Great haiku! You expressed everything you had to through so little words.
"Being the trickiest - When your mind is a mess" captures the essence of finding inner peace amidst chaos. The simple yet profound words remind us to take a moment, breathe deeply, and trust in the power of perspective. In the face of challenges, maintaining calmness and clarity can lead us to conquer the trickiest situations. Thanks for sharing mate, have a nice evening!
Nice
