Sick and tired
Of myself
Never to you
Never us

Haru haru
It tasted bitter
So very bitter
Bitter us

No one
Nothing

Knew nor realising
Only mattress and pillows
Thru days and nights

This ain't bending
It's breaking

Beautiful sunny
Yet we felt cold
When it's winter
All you felt was hole

In the crowd
Wanting us

Not alone
Yet our hearts are lonely

Here
Now
Today
Haru haru means day by day

Sometimes I wonder if I can ever
climb out of this feeling that is so clever
It stays with me when I eat
It lives in my heart with every beat
It craves when I get dragged down
It lives when I wear my frown
It stays with everything I do
except when I am with you
but this feeling I have long known,
*It's being Alone
Seems to be my closest friend though.

Wow being sober for such a short time...
and theres so much I want to do and want to try....
and theres no way anyone can change my reasoning to why...

I want to help others who are worse off....or help animals who get abandoned by their owners and are dumped off...
I want to find a job that is worldΒ Β changing..
to be of service and start alittle piece of the mending...

But I know I can only take small steps and not get over whelmed or it will all fall apart...just take my time and enjoy life and all it has to offer and learn to enjoy things like beautiful art....

its scary but fun ....just seems like life has had to restart.
I know not a poem but just saying words that come to mind.

On the brink of mental collapse
And I wish that I would
Or that I could just relapse
Back to a mask and a hood
A smoke filled mind
Apathy as perfection
Leaving the rest behind
Cleaned out like an infection
Washed away with relief
My wounds are stinging
As I sill hold some belief
That somewhere bells are ringing
Though I have forgotten why
I continue to ponder
Or even continue to try
As back into darkness I wander
To search for happiness unknown
Or contentedness I've never been shown
Just a short poem that kind of portrays my mind as a struggle through sobriety and depression.
Broken hearts

Life passed by in a matter of seconds
Things would never be the same
As my heart wrenched in pain

Day after day
Things got worse

How could you let this happen
Making me think things were fine
That's where I drew the line

I cried day and night because of you
Months without you
I forgot all about your pretty little face
But then you walk back into my life
Reality hit me harder than you leaving
Sight of you made me forget all self control

You told me
"Baby I miss you, I promise I'll never leave"
"You are my life and I love you"
It tore me to pieces seeing you cry for me
*I never wanted you back


Yet words slipped out
"The things you did are unforgettable"
"But here's one last token"
*"Next time please don't leave me broken."

— The End —
