Isolation, a continuous cycle



Isolation fills you with guilt
Continuing to use the walls that you built
Hiding from reality
You keep running, continuing to flee
Everything you’ve done fills up inside
Till you feel like you have no other choice but to hide
Doing whatever you can to avoid physical consequence
All while your inner struggles are building up a fence
The separation between you and the people you’re closest to
keeps getting bigger, you’re too confined, you have no clue
You keep searching for temporary satisfaction
It’s not working, continuing to feel the traction
It’s like you're stuck in a continuous loop   
You can’t stop hiding, it’s like an ongoing hula-hoop
You have the idea that you don’t need to tell anyone
Because you’re not going to do it anymore you’re sure you’re done
But your flesh is too strong, you do it again
You pray to God and finish with an honest amen
Hoping God will help your hidden heart
You’re too stubborn, everything’s once again falling apart
