It wasn't even good anymore It was just a HABIT To fill the empty VOID. A glue that I mistakingly thought would hold all of my BROKEN pieces together. This pain inside of me is DEEP and UNRELENTING Burning with endless REGRET. This is what I feel 24 hours a day. Everything is an ACT. Every positive thought I must PUSH through my brain as if lifting a HOUSE. This has been my struggle All day long, EVERYDAY for 21 years. Fighting and slaying and eventually saying "I give!  I give!" to my RELENTLESS Dragons. By nightfall I am EXHAUSTED. Dreading the continuous BATTLE of tomorrow, the next day, the next, the next.... It's an endless merry-go-round of GROUNDHOG DAY. The same battle The same DEFEAT most everyday. How to escape? The therapist told me (21 years ago) She saw women's lives RUINED and LOST and turned UPSIDE DOWN and INSIDE OUT over the endless years they've been SURVIVING this DISORDER. And I thought mine was just a phase.....
