Restrain

I refuse to fall through that rabbit hole. I need not for my brain to whisper and taunt my soul about how pointless it is to even write these words. It is crucial that I stay in my lane; yet, I glance over at the brilliance of others - others who are so much more articulate and worthwhile than I could ever be.

No! I will not second, triple, or a million times guess myself – not this time. No longer will I allow myself to entertain such insecurities. I will power through.

What fleeting lies! Savagely, the thoughts of my inadequacies are the loudest; therefore, I know them to be true. These meanderings of my mind smother me and are confirmation that I should stay frozen in order to remain invisible to my own judgment’s headlights.

Enough! I must silence my brain. I refuse to fall through that rabbit hole – despite the fact that, as always, I just did.
