I Hope You Can Relate
I was going to not get high tonight so I could write a poem that makes sense.
But I did.
It’s been a couple of days since I was happy enough to stay sober.
I feel like a failure.
Being with my family reminds me of everything I would rather not think about.
Thank god Rebecca is here. (shoutout to her Lexpomo page)
My uncle gave me a mini ice cream sandwich, so for now I’ll slip into a more seductive reality
filled with sweet morning kisses
and dark red wine nights.

Yes! I can so relate to this. Especially the part about family. That can be so damn difficult to deal with. Great ending, too. Love this piece.
