YOU STAND ON THE SIDEWALK AND STARE DOWN AT THE CRACKED CONCRETE BUT

YOU CANT HELP THINKING THAT MAYBE THIS WOULD BE HOW YOU LOOK INSIDE

DID HE LEAVE BECAUSE YOU WERENT BEAUTIFUL
YOU WONDER AND SO

YOU SPEND DAYS TRIMMING AND DRESSING SO NOW YOUR PRISTINE BUT YOU FEEL SICK AND

YOU SHOWER SIX TIMES EACH DAY TO GET THE FEELING OF HIS HANDS OFF YOU BUT

YOU STILL FEEL HIM SO

THE NEXT GUY IS ALREADY ON YOUR DOORSTEP BUT HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

YOU CAN SEE YOUR REFLECTION IN HIS EYES AND YOU THINK ABOUT HOW BROWN ARE NICER THAN BLUE

DONT THINK
THATS WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF BUT YOU CANT GET HIM OUT OF YOUR HEAD

DONT THINK
BUT I TELL YOU AN ALCOHOLIC NEVER RECOVERED BY IGNORING THE PROBLEM

FACE IT HEAD ON

YOU ARE STRONG AND

YOU ARE WORTHY AND

IT WILL GET BETTER

it's not the end yet || e.s
