Turn around then
Turn around then:
As you walked up the stairs,
Which I want to walk up too,
I am glad to have such a self-ability,
To not let myself run away again or choose another way.
There are multiple stairs.
But I want to go this way.
You wouldn't just fall on me, or I don't know what you would say? You don't even look at me.
And if you did, I would pick you up with both arms but not ask if you are doing alright.
When you stumbled, I heavily flinched.
You never hit me,
But you hit me physically somehow.
Because anything you do or any touch
Feels like a threat.
Even though walking up the stairs had nothing to do with me.
When you suddenly stopped at the end of the stairs, I would never take the seconds to ask: "May I skip you?" like my past self would do.
When I skipped you,
And accidentally pushed your shoulder, which made you lose balance,
It felt somehow good.
But I didn't really care anyway so
