Ignoring

One Week At Least

Ignoring back is hard

Boredom, loneliness all smash up in one mood

Waiting, longing, stalking

But it must be done

For one week at least

Rereading messages

Accidentally responding

Then deleting messages

Closing apps

Watching tv

Listening to music

Not just to ignore one person

But ignoring the urge one has on you

Eventually it get easier

Maybe that person will forget about you

And even better your heart will let you forget about them

Ignore the fight

Ignore the pull

Ignore the urge

Ignore the thoughts

Ignore your heart

Ignore your feelings

Ignore

Ignore

Ignore

Just ignore

Act busy

Mental Health
