Gypsy Curse
I fell into a spiral
and it seems there’s no way out.
Strength is leaving my body
all hope replaced by doubt.
I think what broke my heart,
crept into my soul as well.
My mind just goes in circles
and I’m trapped in this living hell.
The strangest thing I’ve noticed
after being here so long,
is that I’m starting to believe
this might be where I belong.
Anxiety and depression
are like a double gypsy curse.
The harder you fight to get out
makes the waves seem even worse.
Trying hard to keep from drowning,
but still wanting to let go.
One minute begging God to take you,
in the next minute screaming no.
I finally started building
huge walls inside my mind.
Not even wanting to peer over,
afraid of what I’d find.
