• I’m staying.

    So many things are holding me back.

    I can’t run away.

    I can’t walk away.

    I couldn’t leave

    even if I wanted to.



    I’m stuck here,

    but maybe

    it’s a good thing?



    Is it okay that I’m trapped?

    Is it okay that I can’t go anywhere?



    It might be better this way,

    but I hate being cooped up here.



    Maybe I can leave someday?

    I don’t know when,

    or if it’ll even happen,

    but for now,

    I’m staying.
