Today I recoil from the world,
loud, chaotic, self-serving.
I draw close to my mysterious self,
one that feels unknown even to me.
I kiss my heart with tender lips and tell her-
You don't have to be so angry with the world,
but it is ok to step away.
This has been sitting in my drafts for a while. Might as well put this mood piece out there, so you too can remember it's ok to step away.
