I begin but I
Never finish anything
I get distracted,
But it takes courage
To quit which I
Don’t seem to have,
So I write
What I can, what I am,
In order to flee
From myself,
Self-deprecating words
Like a drug I detest
But cannot stop taking,
An obligatory poison
To lose myself,
To sink, to drown,
To be curled up in a ball
Tossed out
To never be found-
I begin again.

This is a beautiful and sensitive poem, Aaysid. I can totally relate to your words, especially the lines …
‘But it takes courage
To quit, which I
Don’t seem to have,
So I write
What I can, what I am …’
As you probably read in my last post, I’m taking a bit of a break from reading blogs, but I’m still reading some of my favourite ones. I can always relate to your writing, so I wanted to ensure I didn’t miss your work. Take care of yourself, and I wish you a very Happy New Year. Xx 💖
