avoidance

I’ve been avoiding the truth

i’ve been sleeping
i’ve been waking up early
i’ve been working
i’ve clocked in

I’m drunk

I’ve been changing your words
i chased a shadow
i was swallowed and it grew

i watched myself thin
i’ve been reading a lot
i danced like crazy

i kept some options open
last night, i had company
i had too many excuses

i’ve been making amends
i’ve been avoiding the truth

only you can tell me.

show me.
