I often struggle to make peace with nagging relapses that, like endless tides, come then I need to chase away. Intrusive rekindlings of loss, of wanting to resurrect the past, each time needing to go through the motions of convincing myself it's pointless. Confined, trapped, buckled in, I ride this live rollercoaster that leaves me feeling disillusioned, frustration having a bitter rancid taste. AP: Honorable Mention 2025

This reads like a quiet scream ,raw, heavy, and painfully familiar. You've put the weight of silent battles into words.
