Bite your tongue
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
(sniff sniff) (Imogen Heap, “Just for Now”)
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
(sniff sniff) (Imogen Heap, “Just for Now”)
just for now, let me wallow in those memories i swore i had left behind.
just for now i’ll bury my nose in yesterday’s scent
just for now i’ll forget to be sensitive, sensible, commonsensical
just for now let me stomp my feet for a bit
just for now you don’t need to remind me i don’t need this
just for now i’ll go against all i know
just for now let me be a child again
just for now promise if i try to run you’ll let me go
(then i’ll come back and be ok again.)
