When did the moment pass?
~
Today I feel like going to sleep for a long long time.
There are so many things I should do,
But I'm so tired.
Reluctant to lift another spirit, right another wrong,
Revolt against another guilt assault, only to surrender again.
I've felt like I've been in a three-legged race where
Someone's tied a sandbag to my free ankle.
Keep going, finish the race, even if you lose.

~
Ready, get set.
It was over before it even started properly.
~
I've been sitting in front of the computer trying to write.
For days words have avoided me,
Like a dormant volcano they've been simmering inside, unnoticed.
~
You ask what it is I want.
~
Sometimes you have to take a break just so
You know when to quit.
And sometimes you have to quit
Before you realise what it is you want.
~
I have no answers for you now,
But maybe later.
