reflection


Learning the basics of anything

Was never the problem.

Instead, delving deeper

Trying to add layer by

Layer. That’s what got me stuck.

Being in a rut about what I could do,

Yelling at myself without any strategic point of view

But settling down and just

Reading.

It helped clear my mind from anything else.

Fixating on the rhyme and reason,

Even without completion it set me back on track.

A fresh point of view for something that seemed so

Wack.

Don’t do it very often anymore.

Days filled with endless, endless toll.

But when I get that chance,

A chance to get back.

I snatch it up as quick as I can,

And I don’t hold back on just

Reading.
