i've swapped all my lids for childproof ones
and that's probably a good place to start
you know if you really think about it
i shouldn't be left alone with anything sharp
but then all the blunt instruments and objects
could pose a real and similar threat
and this is just the first room
i’m not even in the kitchen yet
i ripped up all my towels and sheets
cleaned out the linen press
won't be making a noose with those
so that's one less major stress
emptied my bathroom cupboard and drawers
into boxes and then into the bin
no razors no pills and no hair dryer
i feel like i'm starting to win
the laundry is next and emptied real quick
just about everything has to be tossed
effectively and emotionlessly
their deadly value negates any cost
into the kitchen and i’m on a roll now
and soon all my crockery's smashed
everything that's either pointed or bladed
goes into the pile of the trashed
every single kitchen appliance has been binned
i superglued the door of my oven shut
the electricity has been off for just a day now
but i need to arrange for the gas to be cut
practically every dangerous item
removed from both reach and sight
no covers no caps no belts no straps
all that remains is me and my fight

Powerful. I could feel the need rising in me to just rip and tear and trash, fight the unseen thing inside. Love this!
I felt this and it's so relatable. The fight is real and the fight is constant and the right is hard, but worth it! This exceptional!
Your conviction can be felt! Awesome piece
And this is how we fight our demons!
What I'm seeing here is absolute fierce determination 🤔
