slowly but surely

walk away

NO

RUN!

from anything

and everything that hasn’t served you

scorched your soul

with the heat of a thousand suns

bruised your heart

with aching love and longing

give up on what leaves you empty

depleted

forsaken

unwarranted roles

stories

who you think you should be

who you’ve been told to be

— — —

close your eyes

listen.

leave half hearted notions behind

— — — 

steps

stumble

home.
