I'm drained And my chest is filled with a Squirming Grief, the loss Of something I never had It writhes In my chest, Foreign and Unpleasant, Slimy and heavy And aching An emptiness Characterized By a fullness. An uncomfortable Weight In the absence Of a comfortable Space

Empty and overflowing
The circle is a spiral That is to say, When things feel like they repeat Like a circle, Like a cycle, Like a wagon tied to a post, Carving its tracks into the dirt That is not reality. The truth is, The circle is a spiral. Things repeat, But you are not the same. You are descending down, Winding down a great mountain. Deeper into experience, Deeper into life, Spiraling into understanding.
