Half Bread

A heavy sigh leaves me
As the quiet night shrouds my thoughts 
I think to myself 
Like a matchstick 
Shining so bright 
But not for long 
Words to describe my behavior 
A spark at first, only to be doused the wind 
Even if not on purpose 
The intensity gone 
The thrill turned to smoke
I love everything yet love nothing 
I admire the way and works of the world 
Ideas cover my mind like an artwork 
Though I see to no action 
My spirit willing 
My flesh weak
In chase of competence
I dress my self in the inconvenience
Of my actions
Though hurting 
I turn a blind eye knowing what it costs me
" You have something going for you"
What exactly?
I am not complete 
My fortress a glass box; Yet I hope for coverage.
Doubt is within
My stubborn nature acting as an armor
What do you think?
