IT'S OKAY
As if that word could calm everything, you tell yourself "it's okay" when you feel a flood of tears forming under your eyes.
It's okay when you scratch your skin, hoping that this will stop the agitation, the noise in your head, the fear.
It's okay, it's the last glass, the last bottle, the last smoke, the last night like this.
Starting tomorrow, I'm clean, you try to convince yourself because there's no one else to convince, no one will believe it's the last time you go out with the bottle of vodka, or that it's the last pack of cigarettes you'll smoke in one night, no one believes you and it's OKAY.
After all, why would they? You've reached an addiction and people have gotten used to the fact that you're dependent, so it's okay,
you can do whatever you want.
