Repetition

Taking stock once again 

Hate how often I start to doubt 

All the things I was sure of

Take a breath - let it all out

Still questioning reality 

Or how much is in my head

Understand it's all perspective 

Nothing's certain till we're dead

Don't you get it yet?

Still listening to me explain

Lacking all I needed 

I'll only cause you pain

Keep tracing these same circles

Each repetition digging further

Cutting deeper and deeper

Etching out everything we ever were

Let the pattern fade

Or drown again in doubt

Rectify reality 

All I can ever do is let it out

Has The World Been Unkind

Tell me about your day

Has the world been unkind?

Lost in the fray 

Are you losing your mind?

Did your last thread break

And shatter your calm

Did the whole world shake 

And fall from your palm

Have you been taking care 

Of your health and your heart?

Do you have things to share

Or do you not know where to start?

Is it all bouncing round

Inside of your head

Does it drown out all sound

Do you hear thoughts instead

I'll listen for as long

As you need to confide 

Tell me all that's gone wrong

Tell me how hard you've tried

Let me hold you until

We've soothed your heart and your mind

Let me hold you still

Until the world feels kind
