Default Setting
September 12, 2019
I want to reset
to my default setting,
before I understood
unkind words,
inevitable events,
and things like death,
I want to go back to a time,
where I didn't understand
societal beauty norms,
where I didn't care about
what I looked like
or what others thought.
I want to go back to a time
where I didn't worry about
every little thing,
a time where stress and
anxiety didn't control my life
I want to reset to my default setting.

I wrote this after seeing a journal prompt called "Default Setting". After taking some thought on what this could mean, this is what I created.
