welcoming the poison

my soul aches again as another unsteady sorrow slowly moves through my veins I have welcomed another poison yet again the chalice filled with despair will forever entice me an unyielding hands tips it against my lips the cursed glass meets my mouth and a drop of that toxic spill slithers down my throat it’s rancid taste should repulse me the horrid bitterness and burning brings tears to my eyes but I can’t refuse this goblet of misery for I am an addict

Notes

I hate so many things right now and I write when I’m sad and it’s honestly my best writing but I want to write happy. I was selfish and asked people to reach out and check in and I do every year and every year I’m left hanging and alone and I’m fucking tired of expecting anything. These made up expectations I do to myself are just so stupid and I want to stop but I can’t help it. It’s nice to pour it out to strangers who don’t understand but they can appreciate pretty words strung together. Thank u strangers
