The man I can be is very different from the one I am now.
Move on with my life, no more slips will I allow.
Today I realised I have posted on this site before.
Back in 2018, I obviously thought I didn’t need to post anymore.
So there we go I slipped again, further and harder than ever.
Thought I could go back, that maybe I am clever.
I am accepting my shortfalls, what I need to do to get better.
By writing a poem, some sort of letter.
For 10 days or so I have been gamble free.
In 100 days maybe I get back to feeling more like me.
Being me means I am prone to distraction.
To gamble again, to have that interaction.
I need to go past, who I was before.
To have a new beginning, open a new door.
Behind the door, a new life is waiting for me.
Where I can be the man I know I can be.
