Untitled
I need to start telling myself
better stories about the future
because
I need reasons to wake up.
My time is spent sleeping
and watching movies,
stories played out in dark rooms,
living vicariously through others
or not living at all.
I need to challenge
the negative self-talk
in my head
because
it’s smothering me.
I want to breathe in hope
again
like a clean, clear, cleansing breath.
