Powerless
I forged through
the shame
that swallowed me whole
that rendered me insignificant
that permeated through the stale air
so thick
I felt like I couldn't breathe
The walls
Nicotine-stained
Like her
Carcinogenic
Yellowed
from years spent enveloped
in a cloud of self-loathing and disempowerment
The floors
rickety
from the panicked pacing
plotting pathways
to the next drink
All memories of her
tainted
with the old familiar smell
of vodka, tonic water and lime.
