I don’t know what is on the other side of this, 

But I’m willing to bet it’s better than anything I have ever felt before.

A lover didn’t suggest it

This idea 

This goal

It’s personal

And I came up with it with my own, sound mind.

I sat alone I reflected

I even repented –

Not really knowing the right way to do either.

What do I want?

What am I after?

All along

The answer: 

Inner Peace.

This time I am not hung over from intimate encounters

I detoxed from the high of trauma bonded relationships

I still know that I have work to do.

Some days I still feel angry

And I have yet to master the management of it.

But I am preparing 

I am declaring 

That my intention remains the same.

I don’t want or need to withdraw from the world

I unzipped my my lips 

And out flew: 

Scrambled screams of

Near insanity 

But this time

This time

I refuse to let the past rule me

Disarray

Disarray 

I can’t stand when things are out of place

It must be neat

And orderly

For the inconsistency in me.

This time

I’m headed in one direction

I don’t know what is on the other side of this, 

But I’m willing to bet it’s better than anything I have ever felt before.
