Written by Jacob Ibrag

Stories unraveling even if you aren’t ready for it to

happen. You can run from the mirror and yet reflections

remain. Reflections chasing every kind of surface. You aren’t

ready to see and witness something that’s always been there. It

isn’t particularly truth, it’s a thought that’s been seeded within you.

Eating at you. Slowly learning it’s alright to scream at you. Inhabiting

each and every second of your existence. And so you run from it, from

what it could mean. Building rocket ships and investing into escape.

But it’s always there, waiting for you to listen. Like a child who

needs attention, and an old book wanting to be held.
