A Mind Unraveling

At first it was  
A lot like peeling back  
The layers of an onion  
Unspoken confessions revealed  
Can it be an actual confession  
If it isn't spoken out loud in words?  
 
I lived and learned one  
By one the many contradictions  
Of my life's steadfast addictions  
Medication to ease the pain  
Of the likes of OCD and MDD  
I've come so far  
In my life's journey  
On this road that I've been  
T r a v e l l I n g  
 
Still some days I swear  
It seems my mind 's again  
U n r a v e l I n g
