Short Eff Poems

Such an auditive roof
Like pots and pans escaping
So put a Blues over it, maybe
Cee eff or gee it,

Worse than getting
Years ago,in the playground
Smacked in the gob
By Trudy with
Hair like a nautical cable,

The parting;

You explode like a bombed bouquet
And fall into the platform
Down the silver stairs

And if this
Breaks me like a fallen cup
Then for God`s sake

I feel myself faltering,
Slowly slipping,
The facade is falling.
I suck at pretending
To be okay,
When I want to give up. 
I feel like an eff up.

To throw in the towel now.
I am strong,
Relapses do not define me.
I can still shoot for sobriety,
Save me a seat to the show.
I just had to rewind a little,

My journey continues on,
Because I can overcome
This and anything.
Let recovery win,
Wake up,
