I thought that tearing myself out of the cycle that defined us was what I needed- that it would help me, that it would make me feel less anxious and less doubting.
Now I'm in a whole new cycle, and it's a path of waiting, in a different sense of the word. I’m not waiting for you, or for a call, or a message. I’m waiting for me to become strong enough to take control of my mind, to take control of my dreams and nightmares.
It’s a cycle with highs of mental sunshine, energy to run for miles, sore and smiley cheeks And lows of curling up breathless on the carpet, twirling razors between fingers, anxiety enough to shove me from the bridge.
