there’s a part of me that wants to delete every social media app i have and go off the grid
there’s a part of me that believes it’s for the best
i should cut every tie to those i care about
and save them from my own self
there’s a part of of me believes i must succumb to my despair and accept my fate
i’ve always been afraid of ending up alone but maybe if it’s on my own volition then it may not be so bad??
they all deserve better then what i can offer
so who am i to deny the fates
and gladly drift away?
so unlike oedipus i face my fate head on
yet, despite the facade i have put up
i’m not as strong
as i believe i may be for unlike oedipus
i have too much love in my heart
to just leave
