Muse-aholics Anonymous

Hi, my name is K,
and I almost slipped today.

   There’s just so much I want to share
    when I convince myself that you might care…

Alcoholics have sponsors when they’re under attack
but I have to find ways to have my own back.
So I pick off the scabs, I watch the blood bubble,
reread the silences, relive the trouble.
I let the hurt choke me like hands on my neck;
it’s not masochism – it’s reality check.
Then anger steps up to take over the fight,
beating back shame, setting boundaries right.
As tears flood my spirit, my courage re-kindles,
then self-worth burns bright, and temptation dwindles.

    I didn't need you again today.
