'Yet'

Not Yet.
(Tw: self harm, not graphic, [im ok])
Not yet.
It’s funny that whenever something goes wrong
Whenever I feel the slightest bit shitty
My mind jumps to the pleasure
Of having a knife cut my flesh
I have a headache
I know how to get rid of it
Not yet.
Sometimes I don’t see the point
In not doing using it
It’s not like there’s anything better to do
In my trapped little life
What if psychologically
I can’t feel happy without it?
That’s impossible, I know
But still-
NOT YET.
Today I was so close
But then I checked the date
And I went into my notes app
And checked the date I wrote down there
And I realized that I couldn’t,
**Not yet.**

As of thirty minutes ago, I am officially one month clean
And you bet that
Not yet
I’m gonna ruin it.
