Squelching
A burning pain of becoming anew
The time of changing is nigh
My old habits must die soon
Or I’ll keep trudging on
Allowing self destruction to take hold
Crunching
Searing the wounds i cannot undo
Into scabs just to get by
Old mistakes are not immune
To the growth that will bond
My upcoming new mold
Squirming
No longer groveling for a love untrue
The uncomfortable work to retry
Again and again to reach the right tune
Of who I would rather be beyond
The idea of what has been told
Shivering
Slowly eroding, I withdrew
No one receiving any reply
Overwhelming was the gloom
There was nowhere i belong
In a world so very cold
Gritting
Groaning over the effort through
I will finally be able to supply
Self love in full bloom
And no longer will it feel wrong
To be confident and bold











Powerfully penned, CV. Another excellent write with many deep layers my friend. Depression is a lifelong battle, I speak from experience unfortunately. Thanks for sharing. Amazing read as always. Appreciate you.
