Today
it seems so hard
almost impossible
you start here, somewhere
the somewhen was a time ago
when I was younger, braver
I am not Sisyphus
the rock does not always fall down
but the mountain I climb
is infinite, a dim view
like Everest from the South Pole
Today
it seems like it won’t stop
or when it does, I’ll be left hanging
like on the ferris wheel when I was young
and the man was letting other people on
The snake Ouroborus
goes on eating it’s own tail
and my tale seems neverending
like rain on a monsoon day
Today
I want it to be different
from when I was younger
I don’t want to need to be brave
I don’t want to be strong
like Job with pressure to succumb
to betraying himself in hunger
I don’t want to be hungry anymore
I want it to change
Today
