36 - enough excuses
Insecurities
Attempt to keep me from being
My best version of myself
Can't, won't, will try but most likely fail - is the discourse I had
And you reinforced to keep me from sur-
Passing you in anything at all, belittling
Any of my few achievements
Blaming me for your own short-comings
Leading me to think I could not
Exist without you
Yet
I
am
capable
of more than you ever allowed me to believe
'Cause without you I can actually breathe
Literature
A Prior Engagement
You are etched in my brain.
I hear your voice,
remember your habits,
recall our time together.
And I feel no pain.
no longing
little regret
If only we knew.
that all we'd done was grow up,
maybe
we could have
spared ourselves
but we fought,
and we lied.
We gnashed teeth,
and made promises
we didn't understand,
or didn't want to keep.
For what purpose?
Literature
warmer and warmer
the drapes
greet me
an unpleasant
morning.
the sink
drip
drip
drips
again
& the tiles
are colder barefoot.
there is a pile of
newspapers on the
marble counter
& dead quiet
in the air-
until steam
billows from
the coffee mug.
sunlight
beams in the room
like a visitor
& breakfast
comes in with
a sweet smile.
it was 6:30 when
i was alone,
but 7:00
arrived
like a neighbor
& i am happy.
i have myself,
oversized t-shirt
& messy hair
& the warm
comfort of my
own skin.
i was alone.
i'm not anymore.

I found my music. I missed it so much. When I say my music I mean music that I relate with well enough that when I realized it was playing I cried. I sat my butt down and cried. I need music. Without it I would be dead. I have used music to cope from the time I could sing.
Thank you for your time. I'm still upset like my last poem stated... nearly ready to relapse but I feel... Safer now that I have my music.
