A loan.
A loan.
I’m borrowing back my time and soul, because
Frankly I can’t trust you with it.
Maybe I just need some time alone.
Will that help?
My pores ooze out personality and soul,
the vices of companionship and family
squeezing me dry.
Society’s an haywire elevator,
And its grip on where and how I am is
unshakeable.
People are the problem,
but they are also the ones who can
Lift
Me
Back
Up
With my purpose being to give,
I’m borrowing from stores that I don’t have.
I wonder what my emotional credit score is?
