Complexity
January 1, 2016
A constant buzz, a recurring irritant,
What's always on my mind will return.
Trying to find an escape is useless,
Behind each door there is something more.
How could I not notice the hands on my neck?
I never saw what was choking me, consuming,
Not allowing any room for adjustment.
Was this a set path for my future?
Overwhelming lies and ideas for achievement.
This is what my mind has brought to me,
Less than satisfactory intellect, stupidity,
Something never enough for anyone,
Yet too much for me.
