I tried to run away but it keeps chasing me.
I tried to stop and ignore it but it keeps haunting me.
When I close my eyes it finds me in my dreams.
When I go about my day it finds me on the street.
It won't go away.
And I don't know how to untangle myself from this mess.
Holding it all in makes it worse.
Putting it in words gives it unwarranted validation.
Please go away.

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His Word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than the watchmen wait for the morning. O Amanda, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with Him is full redemption. Ps. 130
