small
feel hurt in the morning
find at noon an irrelevant confidence
finish the day with tired confusion

poor excuse for behaving
probably all the stress
properly becomes yesterday

looking for direction
losing most experience
leaving making choices

resolve beyond my strength
remember what is no use
recall the edge of a lost life
the ennui of depression - but still hoping for new life
