when you're accustomed to a habit,
like, let's say smoking,
or some other self-destructive outlet,
you don't have to do it.
just because you crave it
whether it's the urge to
throw up a meal or give
yourself scars that will remind you
that you're in a rough patch right now.
you don't have to do it.
it's your life.
you are in control of it.
so if you want to get away from your old life,
and just keep on driving until you're far away
from home, you can do it.
just like you can deny the urge
to bring a blade to your wrist
or stick your fingers down your throat.
so next time you want to do it,
think.
think that you don't have to do it,
it's not mandatory.
it's your body against your mind,
and you're in control of both.
