Today

Today everything felt okay for the first time in a long time.

Today, I didn’t smile in the mirror 18 times, because I was already smiling.

I didn’t repeat words in my head to make myself believe them, because I already did.

I put down the blade.

I came to the surface level of the water.

I interacted with my family.

I talked without fear of judgement.

I didn’t cry myself to sleep, because it felt okay.

Today every tick, every click was silenced by the idea of you. 

Every obsession was gone and I finally had a quiet moment. 

I hope you know the impact you have on me, and that I would be lost without you.

Author's Note

I know the how corny this sounds and how its not really a poem, but just thoughts going through my head.

You described this feeling so clearly!

Now worries, poetry is the voice of the soul and this was definitely coming from your soul.

Absolutely stunning. It's hard to blend being concise with aesthetic, but you did it well. Have you submitted this anywhere other than here?
