I brushed my teeth
twice
before I realised;
it was impossible to
get rid of the
taste of guilt.
I gulped down
two
glasses of water
before I realised;
you cannot wash
down regret.
I tried to breathe
inhale
hold
exhale
repeat
before I realised;
I was the one
burning.
I had a white toast
to calm my
churning stomach
before I realised;
you can only watch storms.
Watch as they ruin
homes, and lives, and everything.
everything they touch.
I shut my ears
listened to music
before I realised;
the thunder of my thoughts
was louder than
all the songs merged into one.
I tried to close my eyes
and escape,
before I realised;
you can’t escape
from each and everything.
There are some situations where you have to accept the truth. Whom do you run to
when you’re running
from yourself?
