Growth

Growth is no longer drinking your problems away like your mother,
but instead only having a drink when you're celebrating others.

Growth is no longer dating people who would leave you like your father did,
but instead knowing your worth, standing your ground, and not letting them get away with it.

Growth is no longer keeping bad friends so you can never be disappointed,
but instead dropping all those who weren't good for you, and keeping hold of those who love you, hold you, no longer exploited.

It's the feeling of warm honey,
and soft touches.

The sun coming through the blinds,
with cheek kisses and blushes.

It's finding yourself having more good days than bad, and being appreciative
for the first time in months, of everything you have.

Growth isn't recovery - but it surely is a start,
It's a small burst of hope, warming my fragile heart.
