Breakdown

Everything is boring these days.

Hugs and smiles are boring.

I’ve evolved.

It’s me, it’s always been me.

But now, there’s been a transformation.

I feel like saying that, and yelling that, and texting that.

And…I’m crazy.

And…I’ve devolved.

I went away and came back.

It was silly. It was like a dream.

I was dramatic back then.

I smile again.

I hug my mom, and it’s real.

It was like a dream.

But maybe some changes stuck, after all.
