A Life of Circles

Space Void with Moon Phases Eyes 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘

I am standing on unstable ground that is crumbling at my feet. While I watch the flames and feel the heat, i wish for a different burn. I am losing a never ending battle it seems, and I just want it to stop. Deep breathes are failing, tears are falling, but I keep facing forward. Crawling with bloodied finger tips, I will escape or die. Either is okay to me.

keep going on. keep believing in yourself ✨
