February Fourth.

A Poem by Rebecca Hope Rouston
"

In five days, I will have five years sober. Perspective from 2019.

"
No one even know who I am
How I'm doing or where I've been
And isn't that pretty great?
It doesn't matter how I've lived
-
In a way, I'm freer than ever
There is nothing left to lose
Now I know what I don't want
And I can be whatever I choose
-
I don't have contacts anyway
And I don't need a new friend
To put all of this behind me
My old life comes to a final end
-
Maybe I felt guilty at the start
But the difference now is this
I'm not thinking about you or them
Really, none of you will be missed
-
There's just one week left here
From there I'll be all alone
Bottles have always kept me company
But someday I will become my own
