I leave, br fly from the room br with tears streaming down my face. br I run away from the problem, br but still I can’t break free. br Every time I close my eyes, br every time a silence falls, br every time I turn my back, br I’m haunted by my thoughts. br They oscillate and cycle, br always bringing me to the same conclusion, br leaving me with the same questions, br looking for solutions br seemingly non-existent. br Over and over and over again, br constant nagging frustration, br lingering like a shadow br searching for a crack to burst the dam. br I just want an off switch, br an out route; an exit. br I want to get away, br but no matter what I do, br I can’t escape my thoughts.
