The Endless Cycle of the Life I was Given
I wish life were that of a pencil 
 I could erase details of life I didn’t want 
 But in the end I would feel fake 
 And in the end I would just taunt Myself 
 For not letting things be 
 Oh god!
 These recurring thoughts wipe them away 
 Wipe away the jealous friend from within me 
 Wipe away the scared loneliness from me 
 Wipe away the openness from me 
 Because it leaves me alone 
 Wanting 
 Needing 
 I am alone 
 It was my path 
 I am a puzzle that will never fit 
 Unless I tucked here 
 Maybe there 
 But
 But 
 I would feel 
 UNCOMFORTABLE!!
 Ashamed 
 For hiding 
 I would tremble 
 Until I broke myself 
 I am already scattered in pieces 
 But that would just shatter me 
 I can’t hide 
 I won’t 
 I don’t want to have to want 
 I don’t want to have to need 
 I just want content
 But isn’t that also wanting 
 Oh why am I always left in this endless cycle of spinning
