Monologophobia

And I am afraid of circles

 

Afraid of being drawn round and round

Legs so worn and weary, but my feet forward bound

 

And I am afraid of circles

 

On the way must have lost my mind

But when did it unravel? When did it unwind?

 

And I am afraid of circles

 

The past always travels back

To rest is to be stagnant, can’t afford to unpack

 

And I am afraid of circles

 

Who expected forever to be as long?

I crave new direction, new stories, new words, new song

 

And I am

 

And I am afraid of circles
