My name is Chloe
Amongst other things
Named after someone
From Home and Away
My family calls me sweet things
Like honey, sugar plum
And every confection under the sun
Bullies called me more sour things
Like fatty and lots of swear words
Saw some the other day
Plodding to the Job Centre
That's karma for them
My friends call me Chlobo
The Miss Green Tea
Ever since college
Now I'm at work
They just call me Chlo
My closest pals call me a
Sister from another mother
I'm a godmother to Jade's Son
My Greatnan, nearly a centenarian
Gave me a card saying congratulations
On the birth of your granddaughter
I haven't got kids yet!

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.
