#healthybeginning
Crossing both fingers— hoping my luck aligns with a healthy beginning; I should’ve stopped leaning on lovers to fill me with meaning, A cigarette kissed my middle finger— baby it’s still stinging; now I flick curses with an itchy finger… The Uno card I played yesterday wasn’t winning— a wild-card start with no healthy beginning: the next time I fall, take me as new, I’m just a beginner; Pushing to the limit, limit pushing feelings — “please, Lord”—I whisper, “I'm just a beginner;” a sinner rehearsing the role of forgiving, convincing myself I'm not a sinner; truth is, for me… I need that healthy beginning.
