Childhood (and unexpected drunken nostalgia for the things I hate)

by cmt

I am damp spots, I am difficulty breathing, I am drinking alone in the middle of the day, I am bent book spines, wonky teeth, just a little bit chubby with no boobs. I am mice nibbling at my toes, fast food over home cooked meals, envy over normaly, and solace in art. I am crying for nothing and everything at all. I am music none of my friends like and I am fluccuating between comfort eating and not eating at all. I have grown up I have changed. I am ambition and grown up relationships and jobs. I am nostalgic and sad and I am drunk.

Notes

I am drunk. I was drunk when I write this and drunk when I posted it. It's not poetry. I don't think. Or is it?

Either way, it's about how, when I'm drunk and home alone and about to leave my hometown for my weird almost-grown-up life, I get strangely sad about leaving all the things I hated.
