somewhere along the line
I got sick
of trying so hard
and only getting further away
from myself

Somewhere along the line
all the days started tumbling forwards
and crashing into each other
like they were in some kind of race
chasing a dream that never happened
and never could

somewhere along the line
whilst building a life out of
constantly trying to avoid falling back down
into the same old hole
I forgot something

I’d left a piece of myself behind
