“Denial”
By Ashley O’Hare
Living in denial
eventually comes to an end.
When reality comes crashing in,
your position is one I dread.
I’m sorry
your rose glasses
were stolen from your head.
I wish
I had the power
to speed through this painful process.
Alas, the damage is done.
Close your eyes.
Brace yourself.
The walls are going to come tumbling down.
Just breathe.
Damage can always be repaired.
Breathe.
