On Behalf of Yourself

Last night
Something just clicked.
I’m beginning to understand what
It’s going to take for me to stop.

I’ve figured it out.
Why everything else didn’t work.
Why I couldn’t stop for the people I love
And why their help
Never really seemed to help.

Stopping this particular habit,
Is something that must be done
For yourself.
You can’t stop for the sake of others.
But instead, on your own behalf.

This is going to be a rehab
That I go through on my own.
Without help
From the ones closest to my heart.

Thanks, guys,
For all of your help in the past.
But I’m on my own now.

Wish me luck.
