A Reason When

Escape is inevitable when you suddenly realise that you've lost yourself.

It's not like you just did lose you, but it has been a while since you've asked yourself how you really felt about how your day was/things. And for once, while waiting for an answer, you answered yourself

only this time, with silence.

"But I just want to be alone."

I realise that people are made up of bonds. Bonds that are stronger than covalent and ionic. Bonds forged out of memories, a simple greeting, or a mutual friend. Bonds can be assuring. But at times, bonds are so stifling that it slowly limits your breathing space and it dawned one me that

the only true way to be free is to pry yourself away from these gripping hands. It is probably time to turn away from people who blind yourself with the connection you share with them, and find yourself amidst these normal, non-traumatised people.
