Nikki Pruitt Poet Rhyme

Self Aware

if I know,
Not really though,
I don't even trust my judgement as far as I can throw.

What the hell do I know?
I mean,
My abilities are there,
But my determination is zero.

Motivated to stay sober,
But adulting?
How is it so hard to be my own hero?

If I don't do something about this rage quit demon,
I'll become the villain.
I want to hold a job,
To be a productive civilian.
I want to have that little slice of normalcy,
Of inner peace
And personal intimacy.

My marriage, My codpendance And my separation Lead to my abuse, trauma and isolation. I don't want to find out what happens If I don't do something about it. I have to learn to cope with real life, Help me learn a new way to live. Independence is strength And I strive to achieve A normal life.
