My descent

My existence is a painful state of entanglement in cycles I have created over a lifetime. My only goal is to escape. At the end, when I awaken no more, is peace. This is my descent.

My awakenings are a series of nested cycles, from the rhythm of my heartbeat and my breaths, through to all my desires, aspirations, and moods. All are circular. All are unwanted. All are the illness.

In my descent, I learn to see and disengage from the cycles in which I am ensnared, then refrain from creating new ones. My ultimate aim is clear: extricate myself from all awakening-related cycles to achieve peace I lose when I awaken.
