Sober

With the opening of a new blog, it only feels right to start off with a poem.

In case you don't know, I like to write. Mostly poetry and fanfiction (yes, I'm a dork).

These poems I write are almost always 100% personal. As Anna Nalick wrote, "these words are my diary screaming out loud." So I'm stepping out of my personal comfort zone by posting these online where people I don't even know can read these. So please, if you choose to comment, show some respect.

I wrote this little ditty on Friday while I was volunteering at the library :) So the rhyme scheme is a bit simple, but hey, whatever. It's called

Sober

I used to spend every minute
Thinking about him
I was crazy in love
He was my addiction

For years this went on
Only hurting myself
He didn't love me back
It was like a living hell

I knew I needed to stop
But I didn't know where to start
It had been going on too long
I was in too far

Then one day I woke up
Decided to quite cold turkey
I was tired of being sad all the time
For once I wanted to be happy

It wasn't easy
And it took a lot of time
But I eventually got over him
Me and this heart of mine

Now I'm stronger than ever
Better than I've ever been
I didn't realize it before
But I'm better off without him

I'm learning to be happy with myself
He's happy with his girl
It really is freeing
To finally be sober.
