Thoughts swirlling, blocking the light
Tightening grip, breaking clarity
Paralizing fear, eyes devoid of sight
Negativity sets in, stealing charity
Mindset dialled to self-defeat
Nothing done will ever be good enough
My safe place, to the negative I retreat
It always whispers, showing life as rough
Saying to quit, just give it up now
That nothing good can be done
Purpose slowing, shutting down somehow
Is this it? Has negativity really won?
Well meant compliments go unheard
Positivity set back whilst self breaking
Setting up a swan dive into the absurd
Fighting the negative, no more faking
One step, then another, the mist lifting
Fighting for control, opposites at war
Through the combat, tides are shifting
Conflict crashing the line of the shore.
