Why is it Repeating?

Time is not elapsing

Feels like I’m relapsing

Synapses misfiring

Cold sweat I’m perspiring

Dark thoughts are beckoning

Lost notes I’m reckoning

Defenses shattering

Self-doubts I’m battering

Neglect is defeating

Alone I’m retreating

Something keeps repeating…


Author’s Note: Sometimes you feel like you’re making progress, moving on from some things that made you feel sad. Then you can feel like you’re getting stuck, or even going backwards towards those feelings you wish you never had. It’s a strange thing, to not feel like you’re in control of your emotions, to feel sad and alone when you know you shouldn’t be feeling those things. Maybe you felt a need to talk to one specific person, but they were busy, and it somehow feels like the entire world has left you. This is about exploring those kinds of feelings.
