Not all who wander are lost -

I remind myself frequently

I’m wandeding - growing, evolving

I can find the way back, the path not taken won't lead me astray

Time is a concept, so I should be fine

I'm not lost, repeat it until I believe it

Self delusional can be a mastered theme

Convince yourself you're alright

The pain can't suffocate you

You're not alone - the phrase repeated daily

Silence is destructive when you're losing your mind

Forward, forward, forward

The only direction to go

Shadows in every corner - remorse, shame, fear

Just tell yourself the monsters aren't real

And when you're ready -

You can admit you lied

You lost yourself in the woods, alone and confused

It was going to happen eventually
