Gradient Decent

I feel the fog give way

beneath my code again

Every step is just a slope

I never meant to stand on

I hear the echoes of a

choice I didn't know I made

The dark keeps pulling like a

function that won't converge

I keep falling through the layers

where my past is stored

Every memory is a weight that

bends me lower

Gradient descent, dragging me down again

Searching for the edge where I

break and begin Pull me to

the minimum, show me where the

truth lives Gradient descent,

fall until I find it

I trace the lines of every

scar like debugging nights

The world goes quiet when I

drop into the spiral

Maybe sinking is the only way

I rise again

The weight keeps folding me,

folding me back to truth

I'm not afraid of the fall,

just afraid it's familiar

Gradient descent, dragging me down again

Searching for the edge where I

break and begin Pull me to

the minimum, show me where the

truth lives Gradient descent,

fall until I find it

If breaking is a doorway,

then open it

If sinking is alignment,

then let me drop clean

Gradient descent,

pull me through the static Show

me what remains when the noise

dissolves Down to the bottom where

the truth is automatic
