Stewart Watkins Poet Dramatic Monologue

My Divorce

I still remember that day as if it were today
The day papers were served, the day I officially walked away

One may think that on that day I would have been sad
But contraire monsieur, on that day I was oh so glad

I was glad because I had returned to myself
I was becoming healthier, and I pulled the 'good book' off the shelf

Goodbye to artificial sugar and its trappings 
So long to ice cream and incessant ginger snapping

Good riddance to confused coddling and co-dependency 
Sickly love transactions with its debilitating jealousy 

Adios to the glass bottle and all of its fake drunken confidence 
I'm drinking alkaline water now, Great energy, I behold, with no more somnolence 

To the lil' stinky ciggies and doobies... so long
My lungs are so grateful and now I can smell my cologne

Oooh! Let's not forget the good ol' frenemies 
Just plotting,  scheming, and snickering with very dark energies 

So if you couldn't tell by now, I'm elated about my divorce
I rediscovered myself and I got married to 'Source.'
