because joy is sweeter than they ever were

because joy is sweeter than they ever were
JOY!

 

So, you lick the wound this one last time.

Like a discarded snack plate

going to waste

at that party you wish you'd left sooner.

It tastes bitter.

Unpalatable.

It ceased nourishing you forever ago.

You've been gorging on their leftovers, on your salty sadness.

But you can't survive off of scraps.

You're starving.

It's time to Marie Kondo your diet.

It's time to start feasting on joy.
