Hanging Poem by Carolyn Vuletic

Hanging



Come downs are when I'm at my worst
I think about the stupid decision I made when I was drunk
When I was brave
And look at me now, bruises on my legs from being 'the most awesome host ever'
So tired of people 'seeing' me with such open ears but closed eyes
I was a good trip, I made people laugh
And everyone told me that I looked like a million bucks
He knew it too, and I did'nt even have to say a thing.
For the first time in my life I won.
I'm feeling better now.
Am so tired my eyes are blurred, but I still think I should take those sleeping tabs Lolly gave me today, the tabs she gave me when she told me that he hit her again.
I did'nt say anything, but I wondered if it hurt as much when she was coked up?
Probably
