Breaking the Spiral: A Poem on Overcoming Negative Emotions

When the shadows start to creep,

And the darkness starts to seep,

Into my mind, my heart, my soul,

I feel a weight that makes me whole.

A spiral starts to take me down,

A spiral of emotions that I can't drown,

The negative thoughts that swirl around,

A never-ending cycle that can't be found.

A voice inside my head speaks,

Of all my fears, my doubts, my weaknesses,

It tells me I'm not good enough,

That I'll never rise above this stuff.

But I know that this is not true,

For in the darkness, light shines through,

A glimmer of hope that I must seek,

To break the chains of this negative peak.

So I'll take a deep breath and try again,

To push away the shadows and let the light in,

For I know that I am strong and brave,

And in the end, I'll rise above this wave.
