I can never do the one thing I want the most to do, I can only - suddenly: fear, Encroaching shadows. Blindsided, I wish I could say. But no. Not quite. Doubt shrouds my intentions, Like a cloud blocking out - no, an eclipse, Predetermined intervals of near complete darkness, A pattern of uncertainty, a seeming dichotomy- But reliable nonetheless... All the same. Ordered chaos; predictable, unwelcome, regrettable. Torturous, truly. Light again, passing by, gone again- Always. Never. I can never do the one thing I want the most to do. I can only do the one thing I am wont the most to do. And I am helpless to it all. Lost to it all. It is a cruel discrepancy.

Cruel Discrepancy
I can never do the one thing I want the most to do, I can only - suddenly: fear, Encroaching shadows. Blindsided, I wish I could say. But no. Not quite. Doubt shrouds my intentions, Like a cloud blocking out - no, an eclipse, Predetermined intervals of near complete darkness, A pattern of uncertainty, a seeming dichotomy- But reliable nonetheless... All the same. Ordered chaos; predictable, unwelcome, regrettable. Torturous, truly. Light again, passing by, gone again- Always. Never. I can never do the one thing I want the most to do. I can only do the one thing I am wont the most to do. And I am helpless to it all. Lost to it all. It is a cruel discrepancy.
