SIGNING OFF

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.
