This rut I find myself in
has stolen my voice,
willpower, my freedom
of choice…
It won’t let me
ask for help
because pride won’t
recuse itself
and I’m tired.
Frustrated with –
I’m the only one to blame
for all the time wasted
stuck on a task
when so much new knowledge
begs to be tasted.
Tired – also, wired
I know it’s not too late
to fix this;
but time’s slowed
and feels like it’ll expire soon.
