Ode to Sobriety

Just let go of that one belief
that keeps you trapped
in these destructive cycles

The belief that you are enough
for anybody
but yourself

Forget trying to be enough
all attempts
end in vain

For you will only be
as much to someone else
as you are to yourself

and if that is pithy
it is your responsibility
and yours only

Perhaps in giving up
this belief
one can find contentment

with its
obligatory dose
of dissatisfaction
