Life In Rewind Poem by C.R. Ebowski

The constant ringing of my phone
Is driving me insane
Having to talk to people
Faking a laugh or two
Just to cover this pain

Routinely they ask how I am
And I smartly lie
Changing the subject
Because I can’t tell them
How badly I want to die

The devil has been rattling inside
Planting thoughts of doubt
Pushing me over the limit
Teaching that sometimes
There isn’t a way out

For the last time I will hang up
Leaving peace behind
For others to find
Because it’s useless to me
I will live my life in rewind
