How can you keep fixing things
When they break
So easily?

How do you turn your back on
A friendship you tried
So hard for?

How can you stop viewing memories
You wish stayed a little longer
Before all of them burned to the ground
Only soot left now,
But you'd like there to be more?

How do you prepare yourself
Each and everyday
When really, living scares you
And wish everything would go away?

I take a breath
Tell myself to be quiet again
And then I walk outside.
