Contentment
I am content
Content to find further sensation
Content like a captive fish
Content to sustain this cycle
Content like a wheel on the edge of a cliff
Content to have all that I grasp fade away
Content like a withered blossom
Contentment, resentment
Absence not found
A maze without the lost
Forgotten yet remembered
With contact fleeting
I caress the darkness inside of my mind.

Repetitive is precisely used and gets it a flow too. Good work. Welcome to DUP.

Dear D,
Your poem is in excellent form illustrating opposition. In a rut and running round on a gerbil wheel. I can relate to these feelings and how isolating they can feel. Well written. Welcome to DU. H🌷
