Avoidance
A poem about running away
I thought walk out
I thought feel better
I thought clean slate
I thought no pressure
-
No more dog
No more grass
No more books
No more plants
-
I step toward not-me
I step toward not-here
I step toward no-going-back
I step to– free/not free
-
No more kids
No more house
No more friends
No more calls
-
I think about life
I think about death
I think about cycles
I focus on my breath
About the Creator
Linden Carr
I've had an unconventional life in some ways, and writing is the best way I've found to work through that. I love nature and want to feel part of the real world.
I focus on themes like the environment, belonging, class, and alienation.
