Challenge of the Week CXXXI
The Last Time. Perhaps it was the final time you ever did something. Or perhaps it was just the most recent time you did it. Perhaps still, it will be the last time. Either way, it is the last time... Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

what is addiction

what is addiction

an i need i need

waking up surrounded by something once yours

family? vomit?

an im ok im okokkk

every muscle bubbles to life underneath the layers when i step

buttock to hamstring pushing the knee out

I step

sole and balls of feet to ankle and calf knee hams and gluts

i need to disconnect

always plugged in in sync with the bluetooth going thru the motions bolted down to the regime

what is discomfort

its swallowing its the feeling of a clammy hand smearing against a hot slide

that feeling is my esophagus kissing when i swallow gummy bears in an attempt to be cool

i cant pull together

the waters are diverting me pushing me from the god i tried so hard to ignore

what is addiction

the people i hurt telling me they love me

telling me that i shouldn’t have to feel this way to feel ok

im sorry i wasted my breaths

but my mouth tastes of aerosol pickle juice and i cant get home
