Better Than This

Better Than This

A Poem by A. E. Red

It's time for a change

but I don't know if I can.

Am I too far gone,

made too many mistakes?

Did I miss my chance at

Sanity

or normalcy

or love?


There has to be a bigger picture,

I'm just not seeing it yet.

Is there a surface,

or am I forever drowning?

I can't do rock bottom again.

Scars can only be broken open

so. Many. Times...

before they don't heal anymore.


Nobody can save me,

I have to save myself.

These kisses

and whispers

and sleepovers...

It's a temporary fix

doing permanent damage.


I can't lose myself.

I am better than this.

I am a walking oxymoron. Sad, but silly. Lazy, yet anxious. Horror-obsessed and phobic. A loner who craves attention and company. An obsessive-compulsive, yet careless woman. I'm a 29 year old mother .. more..
