I’m not romantic you say
But I am
It’s just in my own way
Growing up learning to show as little emotion as possible
Hard to express myself sometimes
That’s why it’s often easier to write little rhymes
Little boys filled with thoughts of being heroic
Introduced to the idea of always being stoic
Taught that emotion is weakness
When all she wants is for you to show it
Share your inner thoughts
Scream it from the mountain top
Let her know she’s more than a place to rest yourself
That you see her inner Athena, not just her Venus

This poem is dedicated to anyone that reads my work. Most importantly though it is dedicated to those that I know regularly read my work. I apologize for not responding as quickly as I usually do to comments. If a couple months ago someone told me I’d be writing so much lately that it would be hard to keep up with the comments, I’d say they were crazy.

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.
