I want to see it again in their eyes

When they look at me

I want to see them think

How well I've done

I've overcome, beaten the odds

Instead of

Failure

Well she tried

I don't want them changing the topic

Getting my attention

To stop me from myself

I had it all- well almost

And I let it slip away

Through my fingers and onto the floor

And I don't have the answer

Packaged and patented

And I lost what I gained

'cause I was stupid

'cause there's no such thing as just one or a few more minutes and one more

And because I'm the one who's lost my pride

This poem is about suffering a relapse after being in remission from pulling.
