Only Once Becomes Always
November 10, 2022
I’ll try it once
They’re all doing it
One time thing
Mabey one more time
I need it
No, I don’t
It’s so close
So easy to reach
I’ll just do it one more time
I won’t do it anymore
I have money now
I’m going to use it
No, I’m not
I want to stop, I need to stop
They’re going to hate me if I don’t
No, they’re not
It helps so much
No, it doesn’t
All the pressures go away
They’ll all come back
I don’t want to try to stop
The thing that makes me feel so very high
Only for a moment
Everything disappears
Nothing in my ears
All my fears
Go
NO. THEY. DON’T
