time away

breeds discontent

breeds unnecessary attitude

breeds a truckload of regret

breeds this wish:

that i never had to wake up to the knowledge that i keep on messing up

time away is not time well spent

time away

encourages me to bad mouth

encourages me to spit figuratively on someone else's lawn

encourages me to hold a grudge

encourages this wish:

that i never have to wake up to the knowledge that i keep on being human

that i never use that as an excuse again

that i get back to time well spent
