breaking through

breaking through

A Poem by zeronineight

progress feels like

two steps forward

and then a few steps back

 

it feels like

walking in circles

where each step forward

makes a new circle

and each step back

loops you with the old one

 

it’s watching yourself change

and seeing yourself fall

for the same patterns

in different frames of mind

 

it's a sandstorm of thoughts

a humid blanket of emotions

electricity running up your arms

 

it's pounding against the glass

it's refusing to stay in your tower

it's facing your fears

in a forest of nightmares

 

it's knowing progress

feels like

taking two steps forward

and then a few steps back

until you 

     find it in you

     to make

the next ones out
