Poem 20: Relapse

There's a moment of peace 
The calm before the storm
Where it's silent
And then hell comes tumbling in.

But for that second
Just one second
I tasted freedom
And I thought I was
actually going to be okay,
That everything was fine

But it was all an illusion
Because after that second
Reality came crashing
On my aching shoulders
And I couldn't hold it up anymore
I crashed right along with it
I let myself hit rock bottom

And all the emotions
Spilled out around me
And created a huge mess
I was too tired to clean it up
I was too tired hold it in
I was too tired to care
