No Milk, No Honey

I was going to write a piece

explaining why

I fell apart

why

I couldn’t be

the version of me I wanted to

why you brought out

the worst in me

And then I realized it had nothing to do with you.

I was going

to list out all my reasons

for leaving

sooth my guilt

bathe in logic

but I know now I don’t like you

and I don’t respect you

are enough

as I am

if you can judge all the people around you more

than you would ever judge yourself,

then I can judge you

as harshly as I judge myself.
