I’m spiralling. Heading nowhere but down, With each curl getting tighter, And the pull getting stronger. I’m losing control, In a way not typical to most. My emotions evade me. I’m numb. I held them in for so long, And felt them slowly going deeper, But I couldn’t bear to retrieve them, Before they were gone. Now, only remnants remain. I speak of immorality with such disdain, Only because I’m ashamed. Ashamed of who I was, And who I’ve become. I can’t help but be critical, Because everything I do holds weight. Not just on myself, But on those around me. A weight that I’m struggling to carry. I’ve already dropped so much, And so I remain stationary. Immobilized by the fear, The fear of losing more.

Evasion, I Had Hoped
I’m spiralling. Heading nowhere but down, With each curl getting tighter, And the pull getting stronger. I’m losing control, In a way not typical to most. My emotions evade me. I’m numb. I held them in for so long, And felt them slowly going deeper, But I couldn’t bear to retrieve them, Before they were gone. Now, only remnants remain. I speak of immorality with such disdain, Only because I’m ashamed. Ashamed of who I was, And who I’ve become. I can’t help but be critical, Because everything I do holds weight. Not just on myself, But on those around me. A weight that I’m struggling to carry. I’ve already dropped so much, And so I remain stationary. Immobilized by the fear, The fear of losing more.
