i am unsure how to express this,
or if it is valid or useful to you.
however, you cannot escape—
something that dwells within you.
Your absence has become a
routine I never wanted.
everyday, the world will drag you
by the hand, yelling,
this is important! and this is imp!
and this is imp!! you need to worry about this! and this! and this!
and every day,
it's up to you to yank your hand back,
put it on your heart
and say, "no. this is what's important.
