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.

Ohhhh, such a deep one! Love the structure!!! Really pulls you in to that jolting and suspenseful feeling!
The dashes really build that sense of isolation and fragmentation.
True, light does seem to dispel paranoia, like Lysol. Unless it’s the light that’s out to get you…
Omgggg, this was soooo relatable!
very dark indeed.
Very haunting. I never considered altering the structure of a Haiku in this way. I like the ingenuity. It definitely changes the feel. Nicely done.
This one gave me serious eerie vibes
This definitely seem like a hopeless situation
