Creeping Up

I’ve almost fogotten what it feels like to care

all the effort and energy it takes to accomplish nothing

but shattered dreams and broken hearts

that deflating sense of abject failure creeping up on you

even when the signs are such to see it coming from miles away s

tripping you of everything you put into something new

and leaving you for dead

right where you started to claw your way out of

so why bother?

Let that self-destructive desire to try again just pass you by

and learn to enjoy that hole you fell into

when you succumbed the last time
