Running From My Problems
Avoidance is how I cope with things
But it isn't healthy, I know that
I can't face the glaringly obvious
Especially when it causes me to feel like this
Helpless, making me want to run faster
As my monsters gather in the shadows
Trying to catch me without a halo
As the devil tries to cut my white wings
I wish I could change my name and run away
Forgetting the situations that have brought me pain
But being a coward doesn't sit right with me either
As shards of stained-glass litter my garden, red stains
are the blood of my fears covering each one
The soles of my shoes can only protect me from them
For so long before the marks are too deep to be fixed
I need to face it, I need to overcome the things I'm afraid of,
Because avoidance isn't living, it is a chain on my freedom,
Getting tighter every single time I run.

Your words beautifully capture the struggle many of us face with avoidance and fear. It takes immense courage to confront those emotions and situations head-on. Remember, you have the strength within you to break those chains and embrace your freedom. Keep pushing forward, and know that growth comes from facing our fears. Your poem resonates deeply.
