Poem: Well Ordinary
Dec. 15th, 2003 07:45 amSemi-spiritualist poetry that's been tilling in my head. Following advice from Toob, I wanted to keep wordage to a minimum but still get the point across. I like the idea of quiet, but meaningful.
**********************************
Well Ordinary
Oh yes, I struggle
all the time.
I struggle against
feelings of inadequacy,
of regret,
of heavy heart
and fatigue.
I struggle against
jealousy
hurt
desire
and a weak ego.
I struggle against
thoughtlessness
hypocrisy
apathy,
against conditioning.
I am not my struggle.
I am my resolution.
