Spiraling 

I feel like I’m always in a spiral 🌀

Spiraling ^up or _down

Never on a plateau

Always    in     motion

Never resting still

Always         in        motion

Always moving never with a chance to rest and just be still

I’m always searching for the next achievement

The next big thing

Without a recent achievement I start spiraling  _down usually 

Cause the happiness and joy from the achievements is fleeting

I feel like I always have to prove myself

I always have to strive for more

When I’ve got some new work to do, something new to focus on I spiral ^up and apply myself

But the status quo kills me and

     makes

                me

     spiral

back

I feel like I can’t just stay still

How I wish I could just stay in the same place

And be on an even keel

How I wish to just glide level and straight

This  🌀 feels like it’s all I’ve ever known

Even though I know I’ve flown on an even keel before

So until I find the secret to being content and flying on an even keel 

I’ll continue

               spiraling

                         trying

                              to spiral  ^up

             more

 than   _down
