I'm so tired of bending myself to fit the harsh edges
of others firm lines.

I don't have to convince
anyone of my worth.

if they want me, they can chase now.

30 days ago, I set a challenge for myself:
       No ***, for 6 months.

I am on day 31.
        That means there are 149 days to go.

This is
the single  
most idiotic
decision I have made in a long time.
I made you a cup of tea
put honey in it

it's still just sitting there

probably because we broke up

what do I do now?
with the tea, I mean
Run along boy.

Create your own narrative,
a self-fulfilling prophecy,
whatever is necessary
to justify yourself.

It's enough for me to know
you're wrong.
Growing old
is nothing more than
the lengthening
of one's shadow
as it
stretches into
eternity and
is seen no more
I finally caught my breath.
By going far enough away
that it didn't feel like
we were sharing
the same air anymore.

It was so much easier
to exist.

Now I've returned,
but I won't lose it.
Not again.
