»My attempt at poetry. Opening the door«

Hi there, just posting this to see what type of response it gets

Opening the door

How can you head to the future when you can not escape the past? Life is a spiral like motion
twisting in on itself until it consumes itself. With each turn of the wheel it gets darker. More alone.

Where bright hopes and future aspiration where the order of the day, only despair and survival
remain. Locked in an inner battle with yourself for domination. Flightless doves and gray sheep
fill the the setting dusk of my mind. Fire and coal smolder in the heart.

Lifeless people enter and leave my life. Taking with each parting a piece of my soul. Misguided
and senseless actions automatically take over. Only charcoal and soot seem to be able to dim
the pain and hurt caused by the heat of my insanity.

A million voices echo the past in my mind. A kalidascope of blurred sorrowful portraits painted
with the tar of my sins. People hurt. Always the hurting. I don't want to do it anymore. Stop the
endless guilt tearing away at my humanity.

Not even the warmth of confession and compassion an answer. Solitude and dark secrets hemmed
in with seclusion and gritty ice. No more nameless people. No more fear. Just security. The elusive
warmth of love always so far away.

Glazed eyes. Dead mind are my only defenses. They are falling. What will happen the citadel walls
around my heart crash to the ground. Eaten and warped by a thousand mistakes, a thousand times.

The spiral goes faster. Please reverse it. Help. Today I stop. Tomorrow I sleep. Silence.
