A full length marathon ahead
just to wind up back at square one.
Worse off, in fact, then before I moved away from home.
Will I ever get out of this rut?
I seem to be hopeful for maybe a day at best
before the rug is pulled out from beneath me in slow motion.
I have all but lost hope that this will ever change.
I'm finally too far behind to make a difference.
I'm finally through trying to crawl uphill.
I'm done.
