Reconsider
Maybe it’s time to reconsider
The biggest questions in life,
The ones that don’t have simple answers,
The ones that are born of strife.
—
Maybe it’s time to let go of things,
Things I once held tight,
The things I never thought to lose
Though they kept me up at night.
—
Maybe it’s time to open up,
To let the words be true,
Even the lines that seem too dark,
That some might misconstrue.
—
Maybe it’s time to spread my wings,
To find the missing piece,
To fly above-just high enough
To question everything.
—
Maybe it’s time to find my way home
Through all the crazy twists,
To embrace the mystery that unifies
Everything that exists.
—
Maybe it’s time to reconsider
This certainty of knowing,
And maybe what’s behind is nothing
Compared to where I’m going.

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.
