Habits Die Hard

I didn't end it.

Loop continues.

The habit remains.

I see it as a minor thing.

Yet it drains.

It claims.

It takes all that I hold dear.

It was only going to be a week.

Maybe a month.

Somehow, now it has been my life.

It has been my shame.

Everyone wonders how I can't be more successful.

How I can't even afford shoes.

Yet it loops.

Yet it lives.

Yet here it is.

But I can stop.

I just won't.

But the exit has always been there.

Spiral has always had a jumping-off point.

I just have to choose.

I just have to push away the voices.

Reimagine the instinct.

Believe I really do have something to say.

Habit isn't the end game.
