【Erosion】

Despite how tightly I thatched the straw,
The rain seeps through the roof—a
Display of my Failures to perform the
Duties of the Average Man.

Now I’ve no time—to Correct each Mistake
Made by these hands—left only to observe
As each drop Seared voids throughout this
Faulty craft.

Despairing within my Home, there is no
Apology I give. Those—the many events
Which lead to my Insufficient Talent, despite
The Promise displayed in Misleading youths.

A final storm to Break each splintered thread
Of Resolution—no solution built beside the
Clay and drink pooling at my heels. Nary
Will I remove myself from this Eroding
Place, set to dwell in my own Deficiency
As if I am to Learn.
