DO I?

I do...

By Eastern TwelvePublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Do I see myself take the fall, even when I know it's going to hurt?

Do I embrace a darkness I cannot see in?

Do I clean my wounds with tears even though it stings?

Do I see myself fade into the thinnest line?

Yes I do.

I'm sorry...backspace that...

YES I DO! (with the conviction of a willing bride)

Do I know that I'm self destructing?

Do I realize that life has no backspace?

Don't I see that the ship is sailing...

Charting new waters and permanently mapping yesterday

So why ?

Why do I sail into the same storms over and over ...
