It is almost refreshing to sink into what I once was To feel myself stagnate and lose interest It's somehow relieving to meet my old feelings again To feel both exhausted and restless I am not doing enough yet, have not achieved I am not trying hard enough, haven't put in my all I am not reaching far enough, am not throwing my weight I am not enough to climb over this wall A wall between myself and motivation Between creativity and creative endeavors Between myself and my dreams and wants and hopes A wall between stagnation and corrective measures It feels like coming home to a house I never intended to buy Like opening the door to dust and checks to pay off bills I forgot to write Like finding my bed a collection of moths and holes Like seeing where I was and intended to be until I was old However It is also like entering an old home never put up for sale A space that I know but a space I dislike and won't return to as well Like feeling the nostalgia from a bitter memory in some bastardization of regret But moving on because you have moved on and don't plan on turning back yet
