the walls kept moving
in so tight 
my feet kicking and shoving 
looking for light 
till I was wrung out 
strung out 
nowhere to go..
the bright dimmed
realizing there was no win
I gave in..
my time got small 
haunted by the past 
searching for things that couldn’t last..
letting go to the innocence i once knew 
I dare my soul not to break 
compulsive and chronic 
I’ll attach it to hope..
desires and daydreams 
pull me upstream 
taking me to that place between sleep and awake..
mind is lit up 
addictions renewed 
love is my anchor 
I’ll no longer hate..
