Better Off to Stay Away (Female Version)

You’re better off to stay away from
the half-empty bottles and the shadows
that linger in the corners of your room
when the night gets too quiet, too loud.

You’re better off to stay away from
the faces that promise salvation
but wear masks made of your own regrets,
pulling you into the same old traps.

You’re better off to stay away from
the lovers who look too much like
the ones that left you bruised,
but still, you invite them in,
hoping this time will be different.

You’re better off to stay away from
the mirror when the light is too harsh,
when it shows the lines you tried to ignore,
the ghosts of all the things you could have been.

You’re better off to stay away from
the thoughts that come at 3 a.m.,
whispering in your ear like an old friend,
reminding you of every mistake,
every wrong turn, every broken piece.

But hell, you know you won’t listen.
You’ll keep walking down the same roads,
waiting for something to change,
when all along, it’s you
that’s better off to stay away from.
