patched up teddy bears (i promise you will)
to my younger self (this is a hard one) | for the Love in 50 words Challenge
i found you on the sidewalk
eviscerated
tossed in grime
(the culprit was you)
tears pricked my eyes
because no one should be left this way
so i took you home
washed away the dirt
and patched you
with a promise
this hate won't be forever
love will come again

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.

Hope is eternal. Love it! ⚡💙⚡
Creative spin on this challenge. I agree with DK there is a rawness and a tenderness in this poem, that everyone of us can relate to in some form or another. Great Job!!1
