Twenty-Seven

I died at 27. 

Not in the physical way but the metaphorical  – rip your spirit out of your body and flip your mind around way. 

Like all greats, just like I dreamed as a little girl. 

At 27, I gave up apart of myself that was my reason for being. A drink a day to take the pain away. 

I thought my death would be drug fuelled, my pain would manifest in my body, my trauma would be hell bound. 

I didn’t die that way. 

My body shook towards the end, my mind unclear, my spirit in another realm. 

I stopped drinking at the age of 27. 

Apart of me died that day and not in the way that imagined.
