like a ball of twine

i'm unravelling
just like a ball of twine
the truths i always clung too
are no longer mine

my heart cries out for all that's gone
all that was meant to be
i can dream a way of living
doesn't mean it's meant to be

my bowl of life and living
vanished down a black hole
leaving me in nowhere
feeling like i've lost my soul

today i am a coward
lonely and bereft
i feel my world so empty
as if i have nothing left

can't be cured
by medication
can't be helped
with meditation

write it down
spit it out
tomorrow i'll find courage
that's what life is about
