I don't know if I want to do this anymore...
My outlook has become bleak
And my state of mind more fragile than anchored~
I feel myself back in this cycle,
The same one I told myself I'd never be in again.
This is the first time I've caught it
While the wheels are still in motion,
And I'm not just staring at the fallout.
So that means I have the awareness and ability
To stop it at any point I choose
So I find myself asking myself
What am I still doing here?
I'm running out of reasons to stay.
I resent you for creating this chaos in me
Nauseous from all the devils advice
***
What if I'm too sick to walk away.

Remembering the rink
If you were there, you’ll never forget it. For decades, Durham Ice Rink was at the heart of the city’s social life. From Friday night ice discos to crowds roaring on the Wasps every Sunday, not to mention a proud history of figure skating and speed skating, the riverside rink was the place to be.

Depression can give you that feeling. I try gratitude everyday to keep depression at bay. Sending you vibes
I felt every word, every adjective. It's sad, but I have been there.
Gosh this was both so heartbreaking and relatable! It hit me so hard and I loved it!
Cycles is a powerful and moving poem that explores the complex emotions that come with being trapped in a cycle of self-destruction. It is a poem that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or hopeless, and it offers a glimmer of hope that it is possible to break free.♥️♥️♥️♥️

👏Hang there! You got this !! ☺️
Very strong and emotional. The one line that sticks with me is "I resent you for creating this chaos in me." It's stuck with me, I guess because I have always believed that we create our own chaos or we allow the chaos to get in. Very good work!!!
