Just Not Now

by Kristen Dunn

There will be a time and place for me
But I guess it is just not now
The thread is unraveling
And I don’t really know how
Life is always moving
We are dictated by the sun
I remember when he met me
But I didn’t know he would be the one
I see everyone moving forward
So tell me why the direction I’m going is down?
I have been losing energy
I am sinking thru the ground
Weighted, heavy, asleep
Beginning to feel the summer heat
Eyelids are closing
Energy is far away
I have been getting angrier at myself everyday
Consumed by always trying to get things done
Trying to be perfect
But it’s a hard race to run
Never feel like I do anything right
Been feeling this way
Because of old fights.
