Run
Hide
Silence
your feelings
Quiet
your mind
Suppress
your attraction
Heighten
your distractions
Stuff
your face
Replace
your disgrace
Stretch
your face to a smile
Chase the dragon
to the next high
Stay
preoccupied
Do what you must
just to get by
But getting by
just isn't doing it
Nothing feels the same
since we parted ways
Nothing feels the same
since that awful day
And it never will
until you learn
forgiveness
& make amends
with what you wasted
You can try to replace me
but I haven't met a soul
who's been successful
You can try to forget me
but I've been told
I'm unforgettable

Miniature Mind Musings #8:
Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
