The Loop

I think I know.

I know I think.

When one life ends,

another begins.

Like a revolving door,

we go around in circles.

The hamster wheel inside

our brains spin.

When one of us loses,

one of us will win.

Memories play on repeat.

We walk the same path

with different feet.

Days are like boomerangs.

What we throw out comes

back. Some defend while

others attack. Life is

a racetrack. We take laps

around the sun. We grow

old and wise. Our body breaks

down. We hear the same

noise but make different

sounds. We repeat ourselves.

We are creatures of habit.

Some have and others

haven’t. We reside on

the same planet. The circle

of life brings confusion.

We begin to see the truth

combating delusion.

There’s just one solution.

We must let the world

spin. We have to understand

that our lives will fade.

New days will come.

They must abide by

the rules of time.

Life will pass by,

but it will also

create chances to live

without fear. The mist

will lift and the clouds

will clear. Death brings life

as days become nights.

One day, we will dream

one last dream. Until then,

break the chains and set

yourself free. Now is

your chance to finally breathe.
