I be trying not to go back my ways
I can’t revert
Better day than yesterday
Taking it day by day
Never hearing what they say
I just do it my way
Consistency is my biggest enemy
The caffeine calls my name every morning
My body begs for hydration
Skin feels a bit rough, I blame it on winter
Under these sheets I seek validation
The years have made me different, how can they not?
I don’t listen to anybody, except, the screams inside my head
Don’t approach me with honey, instead tell me that you don’t want me
Raised in the catholic belief, my ears bleed painfully.
All my life I’ve moved from space to space.
How could I ever be stable if I never knew what stable meant.
Normalizing toxicity was how our household grew up.
Don’t ask us to be normal when you don’t know someone’s story.
222 as I write, you my angel watching me from the great white.
