Keep falling back into old patterns.
Familiarity more comforting than reason.
Keep hurting another soul
To justify the pain you carry.
Keep finding ways to kill yourself
Before someone else has the chance to do it.
Keep trying to balance things out
By picking unfair advantages.
And lose anyway
To stay where you are.
Keep riding the highs
Because the lows will come.
Then drown in those lows
Till you can’t recognise any highs.
Keep smiling, for you will always
Tell yourself it will be OK.
Keep going. Keep existing.
Keep navigating this impossible maze.
As promised, the high will come again…
Followed closely by its evil twin.
