Out of Reach

You've made the decision.
Some things are behind you now.
Some things are out of bounds.
Even when it seems they are not.

Look at me in the eye.
They are beyond you now.
Don't even think of reaching out.
Lie to yourself if you have to.

Now, say it over, and over, and over, and over.
Say it as you inhale.
Say it as you exhale.
And say it in between.
