Lost

I have become obsessed with the very thing I fought against This drudgery Bland days followed by bland nights I do nothing but live in my head I have become so boring My own thoughts won’t talk to me Anymore I stammer and stutter Meaningless words Beautiful language no longer flows The sound like sandpaper grinding a pipe How do I escape a cage I thought I had Left long behind me My life is one giant circle Repetition A dark shadow that follows me Convenience The chain that binds me Please show me the way back to my path I am blinded by iridescent lights Lost in the false sensation of belonging
