"leverage" poems
No no no, this isn’t one of those commendable confessional rants of redounded reality. We all know where that goes and what it leads to. This rhetoric comprises solely of the faulty intuitive comprehension and the ******** behaviour people have while under the influence of the poor man’s **** That could be mistaken for a typo. Xeno-meph, would be what aliens are called if they did this too. Extended warranty of your sinus cavity is a must. And a mouth guard so you don’t churn away at the capricious calcium that are your teeth. Smoke and dance till lungs and legs collapse. Talk like you’re the spokesperson for an oil company that’s pillaging life and land. Change your personality in a minute and become the ****** you always wanted to be. That smart talking, **** wagging, ***** licking, *** ******* back stabbing, self serving, worthless piece of **** is now you, but it doesn’t feel like that to you. Rational ******** your only reprieve. Keep doing the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again hoping the outcome will change. But you’re cool. You’ve done this before, it’s solvable. A break. That’s all there’s to it. The itch in your nose has stopped. Your jaw doesn’t hurt. You don’t feel like **** but you know somehow that something is amiss. Things are not what they seem. Sense doesn’t make itself. The dark is your sanctum. Fast is your peace. That’s not a typo. The world cannot slow down for you. You have to speed up. Another gram, another line, another lie. Control is what you say it is. Handles are what your stomach has. Fast forward a few months and you don’t have a handle on anything. You don’t feel down, you feel fine. Nothing’s wrong But just another fall, and you’re straight out of line. Justify! Justify! Justify! Listen, keep listening… Talk! keep talking! Everything makes sense. Everything is a sense. The difference is that I’m faster, quicker, sharper. I’m handicapped. Leverage is my mind, broken and blind. I wish that was a typo.

Balance
Like modern day knights we muster around a table. We don’t wear shiny armour we wear suits that are 50% polyester 50% rayon. Our jousting poles are have been replaced with nervously bitten biros, and on a fuzzy screen the MD appears speaking from a country where the currency is colourful but ultimately worthless. His voice is delayed giving and talks of mergers, leverage & buy outs. But I fade out like a ghost image in a propaganda film, doodling hieroglyphics on a pad. From the window I see workmen digging a hole and I wonder will they ever reach China?

Refuse to follow give in to your constant torture cause more harm than intended seek leverage and comfort in loneliness, seek joy + pleasure in the rich's failure I'm not weird I'm just trying to cope with my problems. Seek pleassure from seeing my enemies guts shredded hear them beg and plea Do I bother you? Yes, then it's working. Happiness is the reason I despise Humanity denying to conform to your mainstream ways shut-up, shut-up, SHUT-UP! There isn't that better silence was always a friend of mine. Hand me the knife now I need to educate this inhuman by making a few incisions How else does one learn about emotion. You need to shed to gain......

Hurt
My questions go unanswered. My words ignored. My presence overlooked. Myself invisible to the eyes of others. In a sty of stench. In her own ***** she is drenched. The reason I crossed two states borders. Pack rat hoarder. Without organization of order. Out lived my heart hesitated. My life dictated. By a **** "mom" who dominates. Controlling with my child as leverage. She holds us hostage. In her cobwebbed hellhole of dust. Mold, ***** stench, mildew, & rust. She is no one to ever trust. I have alot to complain about & fuss. Neglected, unprotected,& disrespected. Taken for granted & unappreciated. Unknown but senselessly hated. For love or friendship I waited. No one ever asked me to be dated. My life I lived & created.

Disrespected
In an alternate universe, the light would be more friend than foe. I need not entrench myself in the sturdiest foxhole... The deepest burrow. In an alternate universe, shadows would not goad me into submitting to leverage. Spotlight would be on, and I would take centrestage. In an alternate universe, the world would perceive with magnanimous eyes. With no malicious intent, with no obscure motives, all twisted and bent. In an alternate universe, I would readily reveal myself... As an entity and not a martyr. In my heart, there'll be no worry. Because there'll be no fangs amidst the jubilee. Only smiles that would draw out the best in each other.

*at night you can spot him strolling the pavement, the modern archimedes, with a bottle of bavaria beer, using his cigarette lighter to detail the bottle cap with one smooth use of leverage, as taught by paul the ex-convict, the hopeful dub-step d.j.* the 19th century had its pan-slavism, but given there’s a union between the germanic people and slavic people while mama siberia is left behind freezing, outside with the big bad wolves and bears - having exported serious existential literature of doom and grooming gloom to scandinavia, the balkan slavs still uncertain, rejected in favour of the bulgars and the romanians, i can mention the northern slavic trans-slavism, not quiet trans-gender, such a linguistic surgery of the soul requires little details like: my point was proved about the up-turned nose in england concerning public intellectuals... they do great cornish pastry and music anyway, let the french do the thinking and find joy in it - plus reading philosophy books in english is like pulling your teeth out, standing in a bucket of ice cold water with someone setting fire to your hair.

curling up into all sweet confusions that trickle down from your touch, we become the sky, as birds fall from above. i lose a tactician's leverage throughout this fog; a descension if you were the moon, an aberrance, if you were a single leaf, dripping from this tree coiling up to the lights hung on netted strings set under the darkness of the sky, where-ever you have been. where-ever you are. so, do the stars still shine solely for you, the nights you most need them? perhaps i have gone blind, just when i need to see you, more now than ever. perhaps i've just been sleeping a little too long, inside this cave. does the sky still divide the sea? but, undoing the buttons on your grip, you build declensions on foundations of realisation: with full authorship of your motions, you know you could go anywhere, love. you now know away from i is any road, every treadmark save this single one. and mine is hardly treacherous, but you'll still only find me in mountaintops, so i could barely blame you if the path gets too narrow, or too long-wound. do the clouds still turn images in full colour, late afternoon, to remind you of shapes i imitate in all fractured disappearances? i've seen retreat from so many sides now, the addition of yours could hardly make a dent. not that i would not lament a loss like you, more than anything. yet, don't worry, never worry, i can still stay in motion. still, if you see fit to collect all broken pieces of me, and build up this cottage, or nest, you can keep your heart here long as you like, darling.

To Matthieu, my ex French boyfriend I'm smoking my last In an empty room I will watch the past Seal and shake my doom. I'm breathing my last As I crawl under Under the thunder Welcoming the blast, I shall undergo In an empty room. And deeper I go Deeper in the gloom I'm looking around Trudging on the ground I have come to nuke To repel and puke, This mild monochrome Displaying your smile I will hate your isle From Sparta to Rome To grab your image Your ****** leverage Going far further Than before earlier The road down below Is dangerous, I fell Is painful and slow The road out of hell Will be bright and pure. I did **** and mure Your mild monochrome And now to my home, I shall soon return Far from you lost love Yes, is gone the dove Your paper will burn Ashes, melting fast Burning monochrome Blasted monochrome I'm smoking my last July 19, 2013 Chambéry, France

High ground I concede to you in the disproportion of a time allotted to you for the choice of robe to grace a glorified cameo around your flesh like a sheet designated for an overthrowing in an honorary statue's unveiling Liturgy is looming in the bathroom already hot-boxed in the metal waterfall's mist of moisture and the mountain range of bubbles I have settled comfortably into in wait High ground awaits your hallowed prance into the concealed languish of your man's dangling imagination I salute you with incentive through a lowering of eyes made necessary by your towering above my horizontal soak I'm beseeching you to wield royal sway over the humility of my reclined posture with the hidden scepter of your body fated to dictate the pace of my anticipated knighting The gentle thud of fabric on linoleum incites a turning of my head to take in the litany of parts available to my frenetic feels and jumbled focus Stationary in your naked smile of proximity you extend to me excessive time to entertain options as I coat myself in lukewarm opportunities and rise to meet you for a bathing in my excess wetness I accelerate my exit to negate the bubbled tribuataries sliding to the floor to meet the remnants of your mystery The wall is cold and you protrude haplessly to meet the rapid chilling of my undried frame Warmth is of the essence Fingers split your hair in celebration of our uniform heights and I feel you slouch signalling our first hint of friction and a twitch in my diviner of your cradle of essential warmth Do you realize you now rescind creative license? Or have you filled the snare of your intentions? Now your balance shivers in the mercy of my curled leg of leverage and an coiled arm collecting your ambrosial attributes like an ice cream scoop Uniform heights allowing eye contact makes optional the visual acknowledgment of my elastic hunting in the smooth field of your breast with a dancing thumb I connect and latch onto what is now our binding axis and shuffle eye contact with the universal rhythm of a pelvic power ballad

Lounging in a chaise Soaking up warm rays Peaches and cream Hills of soft green Come closer and whisper "You are my living dream" Sipping on devotion doesn't fill me up Pour another drink into my cup Sugar sweet beverage The right amount of leverage When the taste stays on your tongue Lemon twisted love affair Never did I have a care Gonna leave you high and dry This time I won't be the one to cry Carnival lights and Forbidden nights Ruthless and reckless Take me out for a drive Dripping ice cream "You are my daring delight" Sipping on devotion doesn't fill me up Pour another drink into my cup Sugar sweet beverage The right amount of leverage When the taste stays on your tongue Lemon twisted love affair Never did I have a care Gonna leave you high and dry This time I won't be the one to cry Stomach clenched into a fist Pucker up for a sour kiss No one to give you a warning Pursued another the next morning Bitter words inflict raw pain "Your misery is my gain" Lemon twisted love affair Never did I have a care Gonna leave you high and dry Shriveled heart awaits to die I won't be the one to cry

People say I'm obsessive, and I wholeheartedly agree. I'd die for a favorite artist, and I reread stories I like until I hate them. I force myself to love every song performed by "my band", to a point where I'm not entirely sure which of their tunes actually earned their place in my heart. It brings to mind a modern-Hebrew term, "protektzia". It can be translated as social leverage, or "pull". Protektzia is when you are related to the administrator of an elite high school, or when you're friendly with the secretary of a sought-after doctor. It's as if songs walk up to me and say, "hey, I know I'm not that great, but I was written by so-and-so!" All that changes when old Depression drops by. Suddenly, things I cared so much for are meaningless. It's like quarreling with a close friend. Although, I don't hate my former faves so much as scorn them, for being silly enough to exist. Why does depression do this to me? Because depression is the drainage of passion. As a cow needs to be milked and a dripping air-conditioner needs a bucket, what are obsessions if not an outlet for the passion contained in the heart? But neither are necessary when the cow is dead and the AC off. Thankfully, depression to me is a mood rather than a condition, and so I host frequent reunions with my beloved idols. You are all invited!

Why Depression Shouldn't Rhyme with Obsession, but Probably Should Rhyme with Disillusionment
Listen closely and hear our collective vernacular in a state of constant mitosis. Live and see our language begin to rival our own complexity. A myriad of inter-connecting word highways with more twists, turns and travelers than that of any physical road. A body of thought massing in our collective conscious, an infinite man-made addition to our finite physical reality. Every addition is another color, another taste, relative to the user in enunciation, becoming ever less limited by geography. Emotion attaches and tints the tone of individual words as we grow with age. Without it enabling us to define ourselves, we are left ignorant and insular. Memory accumulates casting a shadow and adds depth, communication cultivating perception to leverage change in corporeality. Pulsating slang spreading locally with fresh life to be globally colloquial. A wordsmith may use this power to celebrate or condemn their perception of reality, more still- will wield words like plowshares and escapism flourishes with such an expansive field where all of humanity is brought out to play. And sometimes- for me, it is just barely enough to grip a word with impunity.

i.   My mother's elbows. They      are too sharp and they twitch      in the direction of your ribs      when you invade      her personal space. ii.  Needing anything too much. Cutting      or writing or even      my own friends. iii. Fast rides down mountains. I      remember each one, looking      out the window, wondering if      tonight was the night      finally we would go      plunging over the tiny      railing. iv. Gangs of little kids. Don't      tell me they don't know      what they are doing. Children      are cruel. v.  Metaphors of fists raining down      all over your body. I'm      sorry, I cannot listen      to your metaphors, when      they make my skin tingle and      my hackles raise and      my heart play out the dance      of old fears. vi. Anyone having leverage. Too      many times, showing caring      for a thing has seen it      confiscated. Also, anyone knowing      I care at all. vii. Discovering that the scars gifted       to me are not healed and       long car rides and       her elbows and       cruel children and       impending addictions and       openly loving and       your metaphors make       me bleed along       old fault-lines.

things that scare me:
I gave you everything All that I could give I tried to make you happy Tried to help you live You constantly spoke of your misery And it sounded so much like my own It struck me to the core Your pain made my soul groan Because you know that I know Exactly how you feel What you also know is that Your pain was leverage so I would kneel You knew I would kneel before you And lay everything I had down My heart, my love, my innocence Just to reverse your frown You knew how to get inside my head With your **** sociopathic ways Using your words and your afflictions So that I would be swayed Swayed into love, where I fell deep. Swayed into your bed, where I wish all we'd done was sleep But know I sit and ponder, I lay on my own and weep Because of all the lies you spoke You've plunged your knife quite deep. I hope those other girls were worth it And I hope they don't fall like me Seeing someone else go through that It'd be quite awful to see My only hope is that some day You will understand. Understand what you did to me See that it was by your own hand That I was destroyed, crushed, deflowered Now I will never love again Because you are a wolf in sheep's clothing; Funny, since you said you weren't like "them".

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Maggie threw a weak left jab at the upper torso of Jacob to throw him off balance and swung hard with her right arm towards his exposed left cheek, connecting her small fists on his flesh with such impact that it immediately began to swell up. He retaliated with a well placed right hook to the side of Maggie's arm that sent her moving sideways before she regained her footing and answered back with a succession of jabs to his midsection. Sweat poured down both of their faces mixing with the blood from cuts and bruises that both had received in one of the earlier bouts. They were now in the sixth round and neither showed any determination in losing. Jacob brought his right leg up for a straight kick towards Maggie's stomach but she caught his leg and rotated it clockwise knocking him off balance and falling chest first to the mat. Maggie attempted to a heel lock but could not gain enough leverage to lock it in and Jacob slipped out of her grip and got back to his feet and shook it off. Maggie snarled thru her mouth guard and spun around with a roundhouse, catching her foot just short of hard enough on his left calf, sending numbness up and down his leg. She went in for a double leg takedown but was caught off guard when Jacob raised his right knee and connected it with the left temple on her head. Her vision began to go hazy and she swung wildly with a left and then a right before she was able to shake the cobwebs clear and see him throwing a straight, hard, and fast right squarely at her face. She ducked less than an inch before his fist would've met the bridge of her nose and she came up with her fists balled tightly in an uppercut and landed on the bottom of his jaw sending him reeling backwards and losing his balance he fell on the ground. Maggie rushed over and got on top of him in guard position and began raining down lefts and rights to his face which he was blocking. She threw a few shots at his side causing him to arch into a kidney shape and bring his arms away from his face. Maggie grabbed his left arm and went for a Fuji armbar and locked it in tightly, feeling the joint of his elbow bending sharply on her pelvic bone. She arched her back harder, tightened her thighs around his arm and twisted the upper portion of his wrist to the left until she felt the familiar feeling of a tap out on her legs. She released the grip and stood up, ****** bruised, sweaty, but not beaten.

....as the lights dim, from deep within, I ask our lord and savior "where have I been?" Have I walked a path of good? Have I formed a way of resent? Have I learned to be selfish? Have I lent a hand to a old friend? I don't smoke anymore but I feel so high It's like the air is laced with hallucination, blurred visions through my eyes. Crazy by surprise, I've already lost my ignorant mind To place judgment on a man, simply because he was blind As I picked a black rose, representing someone had died Who died? It was me! Myself! And.. I.. reincarnated I know it's all in a matter of time I will see him again, you'll be my lost road with all the signs That point in my direction, teaching me lessons, of confessions that helped free the soul inside that grab hold of a message...to be at your lowest point and change it all wih wishful leverage, while the drought of poetic thinkers simply thirst for a inspiring beverage.  (WRITERS BLOCK!) Drink away your fears, take shots for the pain Support your own mistakes, stop looking for someone else to blame Indecisive actions never lead to good, your hesitation only leads you to pain. See me as a sky high, dry eyed, ironic angel with a dark side, who won't hide cause he wants you to see his story from his side, with no lie, as I sit down and get my...thoughts, all back together Gambling on my self awareness, hoping my optimism will make things better.

12/24/2013 Sitting at the bar. A man approached me with the line, "you have beautiful eyes." A simple *** object he made my eyes a device to leverage me into bed. How cute. I said Look into my eyes. Tell me do you see hues of green and the most beautiful brown bestowed upon my body? I call them Hazel. as if they had a name for human pieces of flesh filled with blood. Filled with the anger, Filled with rage, and Filled with envy which accompany sorrow. But search further through my furrowed brow and you'll find no regrets even in the deepest depths of my iris and its solitude. These eyes have seen themselves in the mirror. Faced with a ***** reflection but don't blame the fragile glass surface with smudges and stains until it shatters. You can't clean Hazel's ***** soul. judgmental stares. ***** eyes. **** eyes. Eyes that have been buried in armpits and stared deep into an ******* Relentlessly unforgiving in his shallow stares, Hazel was once so pure. Eyes with a spark ready to ignite flames of fun now Burnt to a **** crisp. But you, You with your drink in hand, trying to pick up a trick for a quick. You fueled the fire. You burned down the bridge and led Hazel to walk off the cliff. You killed my eyes. My beautiful beautiful dead dead eyes.

Sitting in a Cemetary Collection; Part 1: Beautiful Dead Eyes
I was my fathers prized possession. The finest piece of pottery He had ever crafted. He worked on me until His hands were pruned.. Until the smell of clay seemingly became His scent. He molded and molded until I was perfect. In His eyes. He placed me on the top shelf and marveled at me every day and every night. But His neighbor was overcome with jealousy... At how I glistened at the top of the mantle. At how I gleamed in the sun in all the right places. You see, on the top of his shelf, lay nothing but dust. So surely, I had to be destroyed. In the thick of the night, he stole me off of the mantle and marveled at my greatness. He brought me back to his place and stuck me in the darkest of rooms. So that light would never be able to shine on me again. He spun me on his fingers, no delicacy in his touch. He tossed me up and down, mocking my beauty. Day after day I was plagued with the imminent thought of destruction. Overridden with depression. I cried out to my potter, and when the thief heard, he ran into the dark room and bellowed "no one will help you", picked me up, and threw me against the ground. Pieces of me shattered in every direction, strewn against the floor of the enemies house. My insides, corrupted with sin from all the time collected in this place were brought forth. All I could hear was the wicked laugh taunting me, exclaiming  "who could love you now"? Then suddenly a light shone in my face, something I hadn't seen in years. Every broken piece of me looked up and saw my potters face, with tears rolling down his cheeks. He began to pick me up in an attempt to put me back together... Abba!! I cried! Your fingers! They will bleed! My daughter, he replied, I have one  hole in each of my hands!! My love for you has endured much more than a few scratches upon my fingertips! He continued to piece me back together, not missing a beat, not missing a piece. He shielded me from the looking eyes of judgement, bearing the stripes on His back for leverage. Abba!! I cried out again, can't you see all of the sin that filled me?! I am no longer perfect! How can you love me? I understand your sin, my daughter!  in it, my grace is perfected! You are my creation, you are my reason! Upon making you whole again, I will not put back your transgressions! He finalized the touches, not missing one piece. He wiped my face, not missing one tear. He renewed my heart, not missing one beat. He carried me back home and presented me in His name to his Father. Took His seat upon His throne and placed me on the mantle, right by His side, letting his glory shine on me. He smiled and said "welcome home, my daughter, welcome home."

Prized Possession
I was my fathers prized possession. The finest piece of pottery He had ever crafted. He worked on me until His hands were pruned.. Until the smell of clay seemingly became His scent. He molded and molded until I was perfect. In His eyes. He placed me on the top shelf and marveled at me every day and every night. But His neighbor was overcome with jealousy... At how I glistened at the top of the mantle. At how I gleamed in the sun in all the right places. You see, on the top of his shelf, lay nothing but dust. So surely, I had to be destroyed. In the thick of the night, he stole me off of the mantle and marveled at my greatness. He brought me back to his place and stuck me in the darkest of rooms. So that light would never be able to shine on me again. He spun me on his fingers, no delicacy in his touch. He tossed me up and down, mocking my beauty. Day after day I was plagued with the imminent thought of destruction. Overridden with depression. I cried out to my potter, and when the thief heard, he ran into the dark room and bellowed "no one will help you", picked me up, and threw me against the ground. Pieces of me shattered in every direction, strewn against the floor of the enemies house. My insides, corrupted with sin from all the time collected in this place were brought forth. All I could hear was the wicked laugh taunting me, exclaiming  "who could love you now"? Then suddenly a light shone in my face, something I hadn't seen in years. Every broken piece of me looked up and saw my potters face, with tears rolling down his cheeks. He began to pick me up in an attempt to put me back together... Abba!! I cried! Your fingers! They will bleed! My daughter, he replied, I have one  hole in each of my hands!! My love for you has endured much more than a few scratches upon my fingertips! He continued to piece me back together, not missing a beat, not missing a piece. He shielded me from the looking eyes of judgement, bearing the stripes on His back for leverage. Abba!! I cried out again, can't you see all of the sin that filled me?! I am no longer perfect! How can you love me? I understand your sin, my daughter!  in it, my grace is perfected! You are my creation, you are my reason! Upon making you whole again, I will not put back your transgressions! He finalized the touches, not missing one piece. He wiped my face, not missing one tear. He renewed my heart, not missing one beat. He carried me back home and presented me in His name to his Father.

I long for what I’ve never known: a word that captures the foreign feels of speech surging from my throat, the ways they shake and crack with fury and failure as I break away from the safety of silence, in jagged and fragmented sentences–I’m desperate to seize meaning, trying words like puzzle pieces, I’ll force them to fit together to form the spaces of pieces missing. My greatest fear is to be incomplete. And I’m constantly reminded of this over coffee-talk and shared politics as I recoil shyly in forced defense of each vowel, and every consonant and the myriad of their constructions: they are stuck behind my eyes. I am left apologizing for my vagueness and for the grey shades of embarrassment and finite language–when a dictionary is never a long enough read for the lone, longer walk around the circumference of my head–or any red eye flight I have ever caught that takes me from thought to thought: the moving belts of baggage claim don’t have to tell me of the luggage I lost. As possessions were plucked from circuitry I clung to the emptiness as if it was mine and took it home as leverage. I write in circles ’til I’m motion sick. I write myself into thought-asylums where silence is another language: a slow germination of roots lacing down the bell-curve of my spine. A foreign tongue, An othered alphabet.

Hypologia
*** should not be Bait nor means for leverage; *** should be expressive of deeper spiritual tides. Maybe it's just me and my romantic philosophy but I'm sick of this complacent disedification; all this living for selfish instant gratification.

***
A poem is like a naked person, That needs redemption and mercy, And every expression to impress, And comitted like a press. Every expressions are specious, And rhythms ostentatious, Poets with their dulcet lips, Giving vulnerability to your hips Poets use one's Achilles' heels as Leverage, With many diction and language, Their words can't be insipid, So they play the cupid. Poets seems complaisant, Tantalizing those counts, She said poet are killers, But they claim to be healers. Poets take their hyperborical expression To the peak, Making all your bones weak, She said Poets are liars, Oh! Poets are murderers. Poets will make your soul tremulous, With those words, sounding mellifluous, Poets take you to the imaginary world, Perhaps with just a word. But Poets change their environment, Releasing the truth from its confinement, Chastising the revolts and destroyers With mere pen and paper. But she wouldn't agree, Not to any degree, She said Poets are liars, Oh! Poets are murderers!

She called Poets liars
I remember When a the word relapse had A meaning . When I’d Explain what it Meant so you can be aware. Told you what tempts me What are some triggers. I Expected You to View it as a 911 call. To help me when I’d fall. You never payed mind To the importance of it. Just like you Didn’t think Telling you I had an addiction Was something that bad. I remember when You Made your own definitions To all the words I’d tell you. I’m the one struggling But you always made yourself the victim when it was me who needed attention, apologize, comfort & to support me. Temptation & triggers Have no meaning. You never cared to look after me. It wasn’t something you’d have to be 24/7 about. You never questioned your negative actions & how that’ll provoke me. You never cared until A Relapse Meant I Used because I wanted to get high. Finally You show importance. Not in the way where your concerned if I’m ok & hoping that hit didn’t cause harm. Concerned to where you stood by my side & talked on why it happened & what can we do to prevent it again. instead , a relapse means Talking **** to me , making me feel bad , blaming me, making yourself feel like I betrayed you Feeling so angry saying I don’t love you & love that more. You abandon me & go m.i.a When you were the cause of why i couldn’t handle feeling hurt etc I remember when Relapsing made me feel guilty & so bad because I failed you & disappointed you. I remember When I’d tell you I’ll never be honest on my sobriety , confess or hand over paraphinillia . For me to do the opposite of what I swore I’ll never do. All because it killed me to lie & hurt me to see you stress your mind on doubts if I’m clean or not. All For what ? For you To talk **** to me when I confess about relapsing, for you to call me drug addict & insult me calling me Druggie tweaker etc When I’d Hand you things Etc Me Being honest to you & open with my recovery only Damaged me more. What I gained wasn’t support. It was money being thrown at my face telling me to go get high. Calling me drug addict in many insult full ways. You made a joke out of my struggles. You’ve never been there for me. How far the meaning & value of relapse once meant. A relapse now means nothing to me when it comes to you. Being true to you Only back fired. You use it as leverage To insult me more & have negative things to reply. “I wouldn’t know, you kept it from me before” etc
