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.
