Before and After

I can overcome.
nothing
And it's not true that there is
good in life. 
I have found the
worst possible addiction.
I no longer have the
motivation.
My family is my biggest 
trigger.
I don't want to pull the
corners of my lips up.
Now it's easy to pull the
blade across my skin.
I no longer have the thought for the
happiest family.
I will always have the
worst case scenario.
It will never be the
same.
I won't stay the 
exact way I am.
I love the
world.
It will all be okay*

*Now read from bottom to top.

Well written both ways. Lots of angst and disturbing subject matter, almost as a plea for help. Great write. Waiting to read more!

Clever reverse motif compounds the delightful independence of each couplet which gives the poem a buoyancy in spite of the nihilistic theme. This is really fresh and I want to read more of your stuff.

This is nice and clever, Liberty. I'm impressed how it reads both ways. LINDA
