Repetition


I can’t breathe,
Again.
Walls closing in,
My drink stays bitter.
The eyes of hope turn down on me.
Its flicking on my derma.
So quick, so thin.
I am gasping at its presence.
I am in no control.
Watching it devour me so.
I write off my mind,
I close the curtain,
To restrain the light of thought,
But it almost makes its way back to me.
Inevitable,
Indestructible.
I try in many ways to dodge,
And stay away
From the stings that feed it.
How it starves,
And clenches until there is nothing more,
Than my darkness in repeat.
