Why
Why is everything falling apart
Come back
I feel as though I’m scrambling
To piece together the control
I thought I had
This quarantine has forced me
To look in the mirror
Because all other directions
I tried to escape to look
Have lost their charm
I no longer find the thrill
In binge watching movies
Scrolling through social media
Reading romance books
Working out
I feel like everything is slipping
And I can’t control the natural path of the fall
That’s disregarding my defense mechanisms
And now I am forced
To look in the mirror
And truly look
At what I’ve become
Who I’ve been afraid of confronting
And explore why it’s taken me this long
To finally
Come back home to myself
