Today I got a haircut. I bought a new shirt, I scraped the mud off my best shoes. The good night's sleep erased dark circles from my under eyes, and for the first time in years my skin is clear, healthy rather than the sallow grey of a drug addict. My mouth stretched back in the pretence of a smile that was almost real.
So yes, I may still have that scar through my eyebrow, and my joy still doesn't quite reach my face. And my knuckles are still grazed from that fight, and my eyes are still that deep grey of grief, and it still hurts for you to kiss lips through which lies slip so easily, but I'm getting better. I'm learning to be so much more for you. Have faith in me for just a little while longer, and I swear I will get this one thing right amidst all my sins. You deserve so much better, but if you want me, then you will have the best me I can find.
