But Who Said it Would?

Remind yourself of who used to be.
Think back to the circumstance
that made or broke your well-being.

Was it worth the threat
conjured up in your mind?

What if it’s even worse
than you remember,
and in a moment everything
could’ve been over?

Complete chaos.

When you couldn’t quite explain
what was going on with you –
the pressure quickly grew.

One spin of the head later
you find yourself dizzy,
stumbling to see the room,
and the moment pass you by.

You closed your eyes
to avoid getting nauseated –
opened them and it was gone.

Where did it go?
Why am I here?

Will I ever be the same again?

I don’t know, I can only try to be.

But broken is such an easy way to be –
dropped, dinged, cracked, crumbled
and eventually tossed away.

This life is now crashing after driving 150.
What you’re going to see will not be pretty.
