Double-Edged

‘Being busy’
is an incredible suit
of armor.
It allows us
to effortlessly
numb ourselves
to the outside world.
How often
have we avoided
each other
in an effort to appear
as if your life
is so incredibly busy
that you cannot make time
for the ones
who love you?
What happens
at the end of that road
is that you find
you’ve gotten so far ahead
of your life,
of the ones who care for you,
of your own feelings
that they can never catch up with you.
Make time.
Trust me.
Every second
is worth it.
