Twenty Questions No One Can Seem To Answer

Have you ever run away? Could you ever run away?
What if the only thing you want to escape is yourself? What are you supposed to do then?
Do you feel like a complete person? Have you ever?

There is purple on my jacket and purple on my socks and purple in the sky,
is anyone else seeing all of this color that I see?
What else do you write about a non-eventful but in a good way ski day?
I haven't had anything to say since I talked to my therapist on Tuesday, what is that about?
Would anyone be proud of me for only doing the small things?

What if you never doubted your place in the world?
How would life be different?
Who told you it wasn't okay to take up space?
Where do you feel safe?
What is there to hold on to when it all begins to change?

Wouldn't you ultimately rather deal with your own problems rather than anyone else's?
What do you do when you start to feel a pressure around you, a pressure you can't name but you know you need to get out?
Is this the sign of an anxious mind?

Does the world feel especially glowy today?
If you had to be happy being alone, could you do it?
