There is something in Physics called the "Centripetal Force".
In short, it is the force that exists when you're twirling something, anything in a circular motion. It is this force that keeps the object moving in that circular path, for as long as you want to keep twirling. It is also the force that prevents the object from dropping, from flying off in a tangent, from going on a different path from the one it is travelling.
Sometimes it feels that one is embarked on Life's path of never-ending cycles - unrelentlessly, inexorably the same thing, over and over again.
With the advent of something new, something fresh, we thought life is freshly exciting and new and a world of new probabilities and happenings has enfolded before us, but before we know it, we start to see the familiar landmarks and signs and hints, that we're on the same cycle of whatever it is that we were trying to move away from before. We're back in the same rut, perhaps a rut with a different name, different wall colours, or in a different country, but a rut nonetheless.
We go round and round and round, locked in this unceasing cycle, bored, weary and frustrated. We'll do anything and everything to get out of this rut, if only we know how to.
Back to the Physics of things, for this object which is subjected to the cursed centripetal force to escape from this ridiculous path of constant continuity, it has to break free of that cycle. The only way to break free is when the string/rope being attached to this object snaps. And then off the ball or whatever will fly, to wherever and whatever. It is now free to go whereever it wants to go.
So the question is, what is that thing that is keeping me on this stupid inexorable course of boredom, insipidity, and dissatisfaction that I'm on? What's keeping me from flying off in a tangent to why I want to go and want to be?
What is that breaking point? I need to find that breaking point? That point of new things, that point of breakthrough, that point of getting out of this rut-like state.
Please save me from a life of boredom.

I am
trapped in the centripetal force of life
I dread
when it is a never-ending cycle of boredom and emotional drifts
I seek
for momentary relief in a mind cannot think and a heart cannot feel
Yet I ask
will I ever be free?
