Count the Steps, skip a few, Full of Cracks, breathe

I view time kind of like a spiral staircase.

Like a ticking clock
The arms sweeping across the face like the inside of a lighthouse
Always moving forwards, building up, never stopping? Never going back.
But sometimes the brick turns into cobwebs, and sometimes the darkness devours the bottom steps, and I reduce my life to a limbo
A balancing act of racing towards a life I'll never reach, climbing from a darkness that will never fade

Reaching for a light I'll never see,

a blackness never sated
