barely breathing

Nothing worse than being misread
Leads too close to mistrust
Misunderstanding
Miss this, miss that, missing everything

Down, down, down the dark spiral
Lights spark but always fall too short

A fog lifts
Start the steady climb out
Hope spreads across the blue, blue sky

But then again, one wall leads to another
Six months later, tired of climbing
Begs wall-keeper to just let them down
Response is never kind

So, what to do
Exhausted from spinning in these circles
Exhausted from this new routine
Everything’s so hard…..give up?

Everyone says, no, you can’t give up.

Heart says, no, you can’t give up.

Head speaks no more, needs more sleep again.

And just like that, everything becomes impossible again.
