We avoid what can hurt us
We avoid false hope
We avoid acceptance
Because we know
Change is inevitable
So is our death
So we hide where
They, Him, and It
Can't find us
But all of those
things are
unavoidable
They follow you
Everywhere
Still we stay
Far Away
Expectations
branded within
each uniquely
written life
Know it or not
We do more than
turn pages
We write the story.
