Avoid
Avoiding doing things works.
Groceries delivered.
Subway skipped.
Food ordered online.
Headphones on.
I complete what I have to do.
From the outside, I might look independent.
But avoidance also means:
Fewer conversations.
Fewer chances to be known and meet new people.
Fewer risks that lead to personal growth.
It seems like for everyone else New York keeps expanding.
But my world stays the same.
