Evading the phantom

I am distracted by a phantom in my mind and this week shall see me seeking to exorcise a certain type of gravity.

All I need is myself but at times I get confused that there are benefits to having someone to spend time with. Unfortunately, I've always been attracted to people who do not have my interests in mind, and see me as an easy mark. 

Now that fall has arrived it is perhaps to sweep recent events in the memory bin and look forward to the past. In the fall and winter I usually seem to be able to put work first, and that's the way I must proceed. 

I'm the only person I need and that's the way it will be. I've caused enough damage to myself chasing shadows that can bite.
