007: Night with myself

Picture
A late august day
Not so sharp anymore
Summer's bravado making space for a gentler cut from autumn
The air was different today when I rose
As was I
An energy in myself I had not felt in some years
Then I realized that that energy was in fact myself
Day 9 of sobriety, it's all very new and shiny
Almost seems too easy
But I'm not cocky; that bottle had a fine grip on me for what seemed an eternity I doubt it will give up this easy
Can't let my guard down yet, and that's fair, if I was alcohol I would think I was bluffing too
​She's watched me crawl back time after time, why would this time be any different?
And truthfully, I don't know that it will be
But I know today I'll make breakfast have a coffee and go to work
And look forward to an evening getting reacquainted that person
That person I am certain was present all along
He sat idle while the booze bag rambled confidently and sobbed tremendously
So do the dishes, eat supper, have clear thoughts
​At least for tonight, in with yourself
