Today

overboard.

I wake up, I breathe, I am still alive I exist today.

I try and force myself back to sleep,

I do not want to wake up today... Not right now, maybe next week.

I look around a room that is so familiar and yet so distant.

I look in the mirror knowing I still don’t recognize that girl looking at me,

So far from the person I was; so close to the woman I need to be.

I am the closest to dependence, and yet I have never felt this close to freedom.
