Healthy is boring

When you only know

pain, strife, and destruction

from those who claim to love you

Healthy is boring

when toxicity and chaos

and insecurity

ruled previous relationships

Healthy is boring

when “love” was a word

that held me hostage

to previous lovers

Healthy is boring 

when for the first time

with a lover 

you feel a sureness

With him 

And you feel like you’re enough

One thought on “Poem: Healthy is Boring

  1. Sometimes I love when a smell evokes an old memory. Other times I wish I had amnesia and could forget about the people I’ve loved who dumped me. But we must carry on because who knows…on our deathbed, the nurse might become a love interest! What better way to slip into oblivion or wherever the hell we go.
