Seeped like a teabag,
your energy leaking
out, spilling into a
cup of flavour
and reviving
someone
who is not
you.

Lay down inside you
level by level,
the structure,
the influences.
Let it seep between
the cracks and
cloud your judgement.
Change your everything
without you
even knowing.

No drive to see you through
to strive your stride
and lift your head.
No talents to distract,
offer and possibilities
are impossible and
beyond all hope.
Despair as you sit,
unable to decide,
idle your life
away as you
pray for inspiration.
The wall will not
answer.
