I’m glad this wasn’t
I love you endlessly
I wish I could have made you feel it
Instead of the loneliness I left you in
When you decided to tell me your heart had already made up it’s mind and I think you gave me a last ditch effort to make me feel better
But it didn’t make me feel better I feel worse knowing I was trying for nothing
But maybe I wasn’t trying for nothing
Maybe I wasn’t trying maybe I’m making up stories
I’m not sure what I can believe from my brain anymore I know I’m sick
And shitty
Really really shitty....

I am an alcoholic
I am an addict
In every possible way
I do not know how to live in moderation, I binge and abuse anything and everything
I do not know how to breathe in moderation, my therapist said that’s a panic attack.
I buy a bag or bottle/ whatever is available I’m not picky, it ends up being 8 grams in 3 days, 8 bottle in 3 days
I crash my car
I avoid getting a dui

I’m not sure
I’m sitting in my bed
I want to go home
I’m sitting in bed with my dog
I want to go home
With my cat
I want to go home
With myself
I want to go home
I want to go home
The sentence plays over and over in my brain
I’ve never had a strong sense of home
It’s always been my down fall
I make people homes
Open their rib cages and climb in
Make the bed and put up draperies
my nic nacs have a place here
But they always leave
Therefore I’m left again
Wandering in my brain
Wondering when I’ll learn to...
I want to go home

7 days in
My heart keeps going back and forth between sadness, grief and today I feel anger
I feel anger at you and you
At myself
At the universe
At alcohol
My mom, she means well but her tongue is sharp it always has been
The mixed signals I get from everyone around me
They support me yet judge me at the same time
It feels as if getting sober is the same as being an active alcoholic
They still look at me the same
I am patiently impatient
I have empathy which I wish I could give to others
To make them understand that...

Perception of addiction
Hey I don’t know if I’m going to jail on Monday
I don’t know if they’re going to drug test me on Monday
But I do know if they do I’m going to cry
I’ll probably be dry
Dry heaving while I’m crying trying to pee in a cup
While a stranger watches this great show my anxiety will create
I’m terrified the judge is going to look at me
And say in the most polite and professional way
Go fuck yourself
And I will do as he:she says
In cuffs
Hands and ankles and I will go back to the striped...

Two way street
Are you happy to be with me or are you afraid of being alone?
Too selfish to spend so much time with yourself so you take mine with no consideration
I feel so confused most days because you make me euphoric
Again most days
But there are so many days lately that I can’t decide if you’re glad I’m here because I’m me or you’re glad I’m here because it’s someone to come home too
Not just an empty space
Most days I wish you were home
Most days I’m grateful to be apart
I can’t help be torn between the two
You...

Origami
I’m looking for love in origami paper hearts
Checking all the folds only to find out later I ripped them,
I can’t explain how hard it is for me to be gentle, I’ll speak about it until my lungs are empty
My hands were made to break things, my fingers shake
They grip things to hard, so hard most things rip
I hoped for anything but this
I hoped for living in the moment
And loving the things we could control
And then my brain rewired, wrote everything again in a different language and I couldn’t understand it
So I...

Mentally ill?
You ever hold your own hand for intimacy?
Run your own fingers up and down the veins in your forearm
The last 7 months have been the loneliest I’ve ever felt
Ive tried so hard to give myself the love I know someone else would give me
How am I to accept it when
I resent it
If it’s from me
I want someone to love me
But loathe myself
I’ve never wanted someone to love me so bad and at the the same time want no one to ever look at me as a partner
I’m toxic to people, I’ve been saying it for years I’ve been telling myself but have never...

Rabbit hole
I’m sat here drinking and thinking
Which are two bad combinations
Because I can’t stop looking at my body and I can’t stop thinking of how small I used to be
The way my fingers wrapped around my waist like Christmas decorations and now they struggle to hold onto my hips without losing grip
I can’t stand to look at it
i continuously think of just going back to old habits
It would be so much easier than healthily losing the weight
It would be faster
It’s one of the best highs
I’m lying, I don’t want to invite you into this rabbit hole, I...

Everyone I tell my side of our story too
Tells me it’s emotional abuse
And
I could never look at it that way, I could never say you emotionally abused me
There were times when i was younger that I thought I would never allow myself to be put in the position.
I’m to smart to be put there, I’m to grounded
I’m too high spirited, I’ve brought myself from the ground up no one can take this away from me I’ve earned this title
Ive been through to much to say I’m broken and continue to let people break me
I am to strong to admit to being crushed...

Accepting the minimum
Maybe I accepted the breadcrumbs
Maybe I knew there was poison and maybe I took them because I wanted anything to fill me and maybe it was good enough
maybe, maybe I convinced myself that it was,
mainly because so badly I needed it to be I didn’t just want it to be
but I really really needed it to be enough
I can’t blame you for that
I can’t really blame anyone but myself
maybe I’m what’s toxic
what if
You know what if I was the one that poisoned myself and I’m blaming you
am I...

A year from now
Because I'm not happy
Because the sun doesnt shine the way it did a year ago
let's be honest thank fuck for that
That the air doesn't smell the same
that might be because the world is dying.
And maybe were all dying right now
We just dont notice
Maybe they dont want too
But I feel it
I feel it so fuxking deep in my soul that it aches
My bones ache
Like they did a year ago
My heart breaks and shatters in a whole new way
The vodka tastes the same
Whiskey still burns my throat
maybe this is better for...
