I keep every promise except the ones I make to myself. Every morning another verdict. Another sentence already served. There is something wearing my name. It finishes my thoughts before I can deny them. Every open hand comes back as a fist. Every cure asks for another wound. I searched for a reason. The questions multiplied. I kept naming the symptoms. None of them answered. Whatever has been speaking never interrupts. It waits until I sound certain. I stumble in the silence. I fear how quickly it agrees with me. If this is my reflection, break the mirror. If this is my voice, tear out the tongue. If this is who I've become, tell me when I stopped being invited. I searched for a reason. The questions multiplied. I kept naming the symptoms. None of them answered. Whatever has been speaking never interrupts. It waits until I sound certain.
