Frustration
rears its head and pushes a reaction
Further than it should go if things were level
The knee will jerk again until checked and understood
Fathomable
now but only in a manner he sees the sign and checks the situation
Moderation becomes him and a more pleasant but reserved manner
ensues
Better
for those around as he begins to understand the mechanics and
the constant barometer that surrounds him becomes less important
perhaps ultimately redundant but not yet
A
vagueness engulfs him and trains of thought come and go
Dwelling on the state of mind it surrounds and drags down into
the fine sand to finish the job
And
it is fear of this that causes the hands to reach out looking
for the limb to drag him out
One must not struggle in here
The struggle will end you
Never really understood the logic of that
Seems like hindsight and futility mixed together
The struggle can save you and kill you
The difference is in the direction
Battered
now over analysed and exposed he looks beaten
The point perhaps is to strip back, understand then re-grow
Shall that be the limb of hope to grasp
