I Think I Get It Now

Collage background is a close up of the inside of a loaf of bread, a blue and white wave crest at the base of photo, thin black lettering on light background reads "LET GO"
 

At the sudden realization of

my error,

my heart sinks,

my face burns hot and red.

I can barely bear the memory.

If I stay very still

or just keep moving,

maybe it will pass.

I don’t want anyone to know.

I want to tell everyone,

to laugh until our sides hurt.

Can I start again?

Am I too late?

I think I get it now.
