There is no shortness breath
Say some words take heft
I look out for patience
As my thoughts are stuck in the station
My mind needs to be active
My mouth is protracted
There is intellectual theft
Even if I am not bereft
The chief culprit is me
I feel like an amputee
My knowledge dispossessed
As though I’m not even the best of the rest
Though I have no reason to want this
My ideas are just disappearing into the abyss
I know I’m lucky to have my thoughts
I just wished the ones I shared weren’t so short
This is my constant battle
While I take on the world this still causes me to rattle
I wish it was confidence
but I don’t have that evidence
