ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ADDICTS

Losing the first two hundred pounds,
Making the first ten million,
Understanding the first ten times
What's actually you and what's
The distortion anybody likes the sound of
Better than the melody that goes
With the familiar lies; climbing
To an altitude where even cynicism
Can't find a good hold, god,
Even breathing sometimes is tricky.
But where does it come from, the feeling
Of helplessness? You are returning
It isn't too much to say inexorably
To that source, in very different
Shape than when it hit you like
Alt control delete. Keep is yours
And always was. I know you. You do too.
