The end
Draws closer.
Try to rewind
But it escapes me.
Can't overcome it
Thoughts are overwhelming.
It builds like stairs
Every step has been made.
You can't turn around
On a one way street
While being followed.
These nightmares of ideas.
Keep on writing.
Like a chapter that never ends
It gets tiring.
Exhausted.
I'm letting go.
Of what was never mine.
What people fight for
And try to hold on to
I don't want anymore.
I'm sure this is news
Welcome to my ordeal.
This is my battle
It's been raging for too long.
You will never understand why
So please, don't try on my shoes.
This is my battle
And I will overcome it.
