Spinning Avoidance
Author's note: As I was typing the lines of this poem, the song in my headphones changed. Suddenly amidst these thoughts I am writing, the words being sung in my head by the band The Weepies find themselves entangling themselves into my poetry without my permission. In honor of this beautifully sad and inspirational song, I have included the link to their song via Youtube. (CLICK HERE)Feel free to listen to the song as you read this poem, and you will be fully immersed into both the artists' minds and my own. And credits issued to the band for their extra inspiration and quotes included within the poem.🖤

Excuse the Tears
💧 Excuse me while I scream, Until the vessels burst in my eyes. Stop ignoring me, stop letting me be. I need more than your silence.
