Collateral Damage

Collateral damage. What the man has done has nothing to do with me. I am just carnage left over from a sick person. I need to remember this. I had nothing to do with what he did. I cannot make him choose to heal or even stand up and be a man. I have to take care of me. Even if today that means......I showered. That's all I got....but it is progress from yesterday. Holding on to that sliver of light. I need to let go of him and worry about me. But not past the next minute. Trying to even think about further out than that sends me into panic. So for his moment, I'm trying to remember I am just collateral damage.....and he sucks.
