Disassembled.
Regrowth.
I want you to know how ruthlessly
You disassembled me, and just
How much bravery it took
To regrow my heart, piece
Myself together;
The strength it took
To find out
How to
Breathe

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.

Attempting to learn about the different types of poetry that they have on Vocal. Beautiful poem Poppy about how someone just ripped you apart emotionally and how much effort it took to put yourself back together again. Beautifully written. I will attempt this type of poetry. Thank you for the encouragement by writing this.
