Endless pattern
Karla Barnes
Its started again, sleeping too much yet not enough
Slowly slipping wasting away day
Avoiding the shower, as if it was the front line
I know myself; it is getting bad again
I can’t keep lying to myself,
I’m relapsing again
An endless cycle, wishing it would end
Tired of fighting, endless battles
No one understands the pain
They try but they can’t
Feeling alone in a crowded room
Having love and support
Yet no one to turn too
The family burden a constant worry
It’s exhausting, I need the pattern to end
