In & out
as unintentional as anything else in this godforsaken existence.
Back & forth
lest you drown in your own insecurities & shortcomings.
Up & down as you take it all in stride & keep holding on
Side to side while everything around you starts crumbling
Diagonally as you struggle to cope with what existence has become
Left to right until you can’t anymore.
I really like the way you used movement and opposites in this poem. It gives me a sense of being pulled all around the way life pulls us around sometimes. Thank you.
