aspartame

Ode to a month

Over two years you took away:
My love
My heart
My mind
My strength
My happiness
My self confidence
My sanity
My joy
My trust
My faith
My dreams
My pride
My courage
My friends, family and home
My self respect
My smile
My life

In the last month i took away:
My pain
My misery
My fears
My anger
My stress
My hurt
My sadness
My tears
My headache
My weakness
My unhappiness
My self hatred
My distrust
My hate
My nightmares
My bad feelings

I took you away! And for that I am better off!
