Metamorphosis
Figuring life out after finding out you were adopted
Life is hard, my world seems crazy.
Would it be easier if I was just a daisy?
People with family take them for granted. When you don’t have family you understand it. You wish you had them to take for granted. A mom and a dad, I would be very glad.
But here I am a lonely butterfly.
Waking up after 30 years of so many tears. Thinking I was just a worm inching by and by. Not even knowing I was a caterpillar trying to reach the sky. Once I was surrounded by so many things, now all I have is my wings. Life is crazy, life is a dream.
Maybe one day I’ll understand some things.

DOUBLE EDGED SWORD
DOUBLE EDGED SWORD: Life is like a sword. Double edged. Every choice is a sword. We live by them. We die by them. Sometimes we hold on to them to tightly, then wonder why we hurt so badly. Swords are like mirrors, depending on which side you stand on, is what you see. Depending on how far or close you hold it, is what you will be. The sword is protecting you, the sword is killing you. Some swords we love to much. The hardest swords to let go, usually are the ones that will save our life. Things get heavy, it’s the swords we are carrying.

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.
