What Would Could
The thoughts of a Day
What if I want to run?
What if I've had enough?
What if I don't want to be myself anymore?
What if I've had enough?
What if I stopped answering emails?
What if I just drove away?
What if I disappeared?
Would anyone notice?
Would they think badly of me?
Would they need me?
Would they want me to return?
Would it be me they missed or my abilities?
Would they accept my resignation?
Would my family forget?
Could I come back and try again?
Could I press pause and then restart?
Could I sleep a thousand years, and I would return restored?
Could I take a break and still be?
Could my mind be free for just a second without feeling guilty for the reprieve?
Could I starve myself of societal expectations?
Could I make them feel my own trepidation?
Probably not, eh?

A memory
Dear Self, I had this memory of us when you were younger. I close my eyes, and I can smell the salt air and the tightness of the two French braids we had carefully weaved down either side of our head. It's still early enough that the morning dew has soaked through our Converse sneakers.
