Breaking the Cycle

I.

Falling through the dark ring is never enough
Falling into the dark ring, now that’s a different story
Scrapping on the surface of the ring is where it starts
Scrapping on the bedside were dreams take place is where it ends
Passing through the ring is heavenly
Being within the ring is devilishly unsatisfying

II.

I banish you from all
From the depths of my body, mind, and soul you must be gone
I forbid you to be alive any longer
From you there is no joy; only heartache, pain, and self-loathing
I will be restored
From the restoration will be self-gratitude, kindness, and an image I once called my own
I will restore myself with He who has been, is, and will forever be known throughout the ages
From me will be a life beautifully lived
