Today it is August 21st

133 days

Since the blade sliced into my skin

Made me forget the pain

It's been 133 days since the last time

I tracked a dissociative episode

It's been 124 days

Since I was diagnosed

Since I learned the name

For the part of my brain that is broken

124 days I have known I have

Borderline

Personality

Disorder

BPD

Three simple letters

That hold so much weight

And 115

The number of days since my discharge

From my two and a half week stay in a mental hospital

I've been clean from drugs for 66 days

66 whole days

Since I've tasted the sweet nicotine

Or the bitter weed

But most importantly

It's been 14 days since I came out as Chris

Since I first uttered the words that I'm trans

14 days since starting over

For 14 days, I've been me
