The Ongoing Struggle
It starts today.
 My new life.
 Today is the day I start living
 the life I've wanted
 dreamed about.
 
 The person I've fantasized awaits me.
 It will be a long road 
 but the beginning is clear.
 I am ready
 I am strong.
 
 I walk downstairs,
 I see the cake you left,
 chocolate- specially for me.
 Because it's my favorite
 and you know I'll eat too much
 and make you look better.
 
 F*** you, i think.
 I cut into it
 and sigh.
 I put the knife down,
 my fingers breaking it apart
 without mercy.
 
 It starts tomorrow. 
 My new life starts tomorrow.
 I finish the cake and cry.
