“Autopilot”
By Ashley O’Hare
When I think about my future,
I cannot put myself first.
My plans, my goals all vanish from the picture
without your face in the foreground.
Lost contact
and broken hearts
won’t stop me
from walking through this broken glass.
I put my mind on autopilot
because overthinking
will only make it all worse.
I’m ignoring my fears.
I’m trusting my gut.
I’m following my heart.
