Last year's poverty

Mischievous; somewhere in between wayward and exasperating.

 

Expectations are aggravating;

When acceptance seems heavy in contrast to escaping.

 

Restraint and avoidance lacks tactics;

Both now seem increasingly attractive.

 

At once a beguiled captive; an observant idiot.

In correspondence, I've inadequate presence.

 

An incessantly sidelined wallflower.

An unintentionally shrinking violet.
