Need To Break This Spiral

Please

Shed no tears

For me.

As

My weeping pen

Glides across

The canvass of life

I am journeying

Through.

For

These tears

Are reflective

Of a past

Best left behind.

Yet

I find myself

Struggling

With this need

Of mine.

As

I punish myself

For not being perfect

Like everyone

Else.

 

 

Knowing

This is wrong

But still

I do it.

 

 

For

True healing

Will only happen

When this viscous cycle

Is finally broken.

Thank you, Brandon. It's a slow and sometimes painful exercise.
