I’m sorry I had to take my medicine
The world was starting to tilt again
Edges softening
Rooms breathing too loudly
My own name slipping from my hands
I didn’t want to disappear mid sentence
Or drift like smoke
Through the doorway of myself
So I stopped
Swallowed the quiet thing
That keeps me here
That anchors the light
Before it flickers out
I’m still with you
Just needed a moment
To stay whole
