Monologophobia


And I am afraid of circles


Afraid of being drawn round and round
Legs so worn and weary, but my feet are 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
