toxic mindset

the taste was bitter on her tongue

she set the glass back down

and slumped back in her chair

gazing at the ceiling

and waiting for the poison

to consume her

it had taken a long time to gather

this~

it wasn't courage

but she wasn't giving up

either

it was something different

it was time to let go

to leave this world made

of bones and ash

behind

it was what inside her

that hurt the most

thoughts and memories

she wanted them to burn

like the liquid

that had crawled

down her throat

but nothing's happening

yet

so she just

waits

and anticipates~
