One step forward, three steps back
Pinned up straight against the wall
Ruthless pressure still growing
Lack of joy destroying soul
Loosing hope and loosing self
Permeating state of mind
Falling deep into quicksand
Time reluctant to be kind
Trying to unravel now
Waiting for a better day
Raising hands up to heaven
Once more…giving it away
Constant struggles take their toll
Eroding away laughter
Circling patterns take control
Risking the ever after
```````````````````````````````````````
Please tell me what you think

I can truly feel your pain. Not only the fear of the unknown but the fear of the inevitable. Loneliness is not something you can just wish away. That's what comes to mind when I read this piece. Excellent work. Good luck in the contest.
Sincerely,
Leo Long
