Poem
A rock for you, mountain for me Why am I defeated so easily I put on my pants one leg at a time That's where there lives an invisible line Marking the difference between you and I Explaining my crawl as you fly high Looking down from your castle You view me a hassle I try and try Excuses run dry My race is over before it begins Victoriously, you meet me at the end Still pep in your step, energy to spare A turtle minus a shell, I feel so bare If only I could slow my train of thought Perhaps I could achieve the life I've sought But my wheels keep on turning Wasted energy, I'm burning Thinking and thinking Steadily sinking I start feeling better when I take a pill Mind thinking clearer, but thinking still When will I upgrade from thought to action The cause comes easy, but where's the reaction Bounteous ideas floating around The problem, I find, is pinning one down My mind can chisel the perfect creation Birthed and deceased in my imagination A woman with a brain, packed full of intellect Mouse hovering the button, can't click select Day in and day out Goals die and new ones sprout Nothing is better to excite Than a new vision when it ignites But then I notice how my life is compacted And easily I become too distracted I try solving the fraction in my mind Soon realizing, I'm out of time Another fresh start, I didn't see finish Perhaps over night, I will replenish I've realized the truth and admit how it stung A gritty feel and bitter taste tattooed on my tongue I'm merely a hamster, the world my wheel Making no way, but running still
