the book is hidden away
its pages unturned
my eyes looking elsewhere,
ah,
this is bittersweet
I should
I should
I should
but,
I probably won’t,
like always
you know that
so why even ask?
I walk in with a smile
but always leave with a frown
because it always comes back to:
what I haven’t done
what I’m not doing
what I should be spending my time on
and it does is make me more
depressed
so Great Expectations
is waiting for
me
waiting to jump
and crush me
under it’s 500 pages
