Conflicting Emotions

Recurring thought kept urging her to do what she would never do It had been too long She could not control the outcome Her inner self was screaming at her now She shut it down with alcohol Just to make sure, she took some sleeping pills too Weirdly, this kept her up, not down And the voice not only kept it up But now there were two voices Call him! One was screaming The other one was slapping her in her reptilian brain. He is to blame; you owe him nothing! It said. She tossed all night, wishing to escape.

Oh dear. She doesn't realize you can never find answers immersing yourself in alcohol and pills. Sad.

Some people keep making the same mistake over and over, skating on a broken record hoping for a different ending
