When Rules are Broken

I wasn’t supposed to feel like this,

I’ve always known The Rules,

So I fill my time,create my home

And garden with all the tools

Lies we tell ourselves, how useless

Overthinking is quite overrated

So cancel now distract yourself

Erase what’s just been stated

I cancel my own sabotage

I return to sacred space

Create anew, forgive myself

Put that smile back on my face

The words that flow from within my head

Don’t always make much sense

Except maybe to me alone

I say in my defence
