A reminder of who you are
Little girl
you live in my mind
But you are there
like sunlight and honey
pure gold
perfect as you are.
-
Little girl
I wish you'd known
that he wasn't everything
that you were everything
that his love
never did define you.
-
The world can be dark
some days
you won't be able to get up
underneath its weight
you'll know it
as the feeling in your chest
you'll think it's because of him
the cold
getting in
through the empty space
he left.
-
You are so much more
than his love
please don't forget it
you are brilliant
you blinded him
he wasn't ready
to love someone like you.
-
Little girl
you are enough
you are perfect
just as you are.

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.
