Down.

Caught in an endless loop, going back and forth,
my head spins as I go in this spiraling swirl.
Pulled down by the gravity of guilt & the weight of this world,
waiting impatiently, hoping for my life to turn.
I’ve tried a million times but these thoughts I cannot shun,
it just feels like the pain has just begun.
Gone are the days when I thought life was meant to be fun,
craving for an end, I’m tempted to make that final jump.
For this life has me stUck & this life has me stumped,
just pull me back up and save me from this illusion.

stUck.

Tell me, have you ever gone sleepless?
Your whole body paralyzed and tied to the bed.
Wishing you could be mindless,
to silence the noise or just drop dead.

Have you ever felt hopeless?
Drenched by an endless rain of tears and blood.
Trying not to think all this is meaningless
or just waiting to be drowned by the floods.

Have you ever been clueless?
Like a sole sailor that is stranded,
where every move feels wrong with this broken compass,
while holding onto the remaining ship that was wrecked.
