A place of mystery and uncertainty
I can’t believe I am here
In this place, at this moment
Thinking, relishing, questioning

Clinging to hope yet untethered
Trapped in the crevices of thought

I turn off the light
Tears run down the mirror
I’ve been here before, it hasn’t been days
It’s been hours
In front of an empty table
Food cold, coffee bland, water lukewarm
