I love to spiral To drown myself in thoughts only the mad can relate to But when you ask me, I'm sorry, boo, I won’t tell you My body can shiver with self-pity You ask how I'm doing? I’ll say…. 50/50 I can have an internal breakdown. And you ask, “Why the frown?” Deep inside, I scream, help me get out But my false confidence helps me regurgitate lies Until I can literally taste the word “I'm fine” Cuz not lying makes me feel nauseous, I know being cautious will be the death of me That Macbeth can attest, you cannot outrun fate No matter how many spirals you make But I crave for stability in an unstable world Poetry is the only unchanging form of matter Therefore, it is a safe haven Each line is treated like a deep scar Disinfectant can’t attain But I'm trying to change, and I will someday But every Sunday feels like a reset Put a coin in the slot, but I guess money can’t always talk And I thought materialistic love was the remedy And to be honest, therapy isn't helping Now my two senses what made sense now cost more than 2 cents So i dont understand why I was sent here Now circles and swirls do not look so bad Maybe I fear this is all I will ever be Take this as i plea or an easy way out But your doubt will disappear when you see my inner demons sprout out Twisted and ugly And maybe I'm lucky I mean Spirals and thoughts are not lovely But I guess I will be fine

I love to spiral To drown myself in thoughts only the mad can relate to But when you ask me, I'm sorry, boo, I won’t tell you My body can shiver with self-pity You ask how I'm doing?
