I'm late to this, but thought I'd add a quick one.
My Descent
© 2022 Cindy Prince
Falling
Endless falling
To the depths of nowhereland
Plunging
Endless plunging
Knowing I'll never understand
Slipping
Endless slipping
I cannot hold on anymore
Crashing
Endless crashing
In through lunacy's door
Chorus
My descent comes in a hurry
Yet it's been happening for years
In an instant and blurry
I bottomed out through my fears
There is no humanity
Thus comes my descent into insanity
Toppling
Endless toppling
It is deeper than I could know
Dropping
Endless dropping
Ready or not, here I go
Repeat chorus

Oh, nice active verbs in this and I think it's all very impactful! I hope to hear it in song! Good write, Cindy!

This is one of my favs this year. It instantly jumped off the page at me. I could feel it and hear it! If if if, i was home, it was early in feb etc this would be my first steal! Lovely lyric Cindy

I really like the rhythm in the lyrics. “In through lunacy’s door”, what a fantastic line.
@lennie Feb 2022
A sad theme but done nicely. I like the repeat of endless. Even without the further explaination of the chorus, the idea comes over very well.

i feel this one.
love the lines
To the depths of nowhereland..
Endless crashing
In through lunacy's door...
My descent comes in a hurry
Yet it's been happening for years
In an instant and blurry
I bottomed out through my fears
I want to give this person a hug and a snack.
Well done!
Great skirmish.

I love how the words themselves seem to descend and descend in a spiral. I love the pattern of the syllables. Hope they find their music.
