pushing n pulling

pushing n pulling my mind into darkened places try to remember the words that moms said and my familiar faces pressure constantly pulling me down pulling me down into the undercurrent watch me drown Pushing and pulling, my thoughts in a maze, Darkened reflections, I’m lost in a haze. Remembering wisdom, those words from the past, Familiar faces fade, but the shadows hold fast. Pressure like weights, it’s a constant descent, Pulling me deeper, in the chaos I’m spent. Fighting my demons, they whisper my name, Echoes of anguish, it’s a sinister game. Mind like a prison, the bars made of fear, Searching for solace, but the end’s never near. Haunted by choices, the ghosts of regret, In the undercurrents, I’m drowning in debt. Wrestling darkness, my spirit on trial, Pushing and pulling, but I’m stuck in denial. Chasing the light, but it flickers and fades, Caught in the struggle, where the silence invades.
