Far enough gone to view myself from a distance

Over and over emphasises/embeds Check the facts: backed into a corner Category: bad idea Resultant feeling: no safe way out View from the other side: captive audience Perspective from corner: unable to hear It all dampens down except the pain in my chest The question to me: why are you doing this? The answer: I'm backed into a corner The words: no, you are making a choice The answer: I'm backed into a corner The words: you have it all wrong The answer: I'm backed into a corner The words: react differently to these words The answer: I'm backed into a corner There's been some error of judgement about my ability to survive in a closed eco system. There's been some error of judgement I'm sure I can listen, but let me out of this space to walk away and recalibrate I'm out of kilter. Backing me into a corner doesn't fix that.
