i tried so hard
to sink into this soul
downward and backward
as if it were a bowl
i breathed and blew
bellowed like a flue
and summoned all i knew
i sulked and sunk
i hulked and dunked
contemplated like a monk
i tried so wide
to fill up this space
to care and to tend
and do it all with grace
i read and i bled
i earlied to bed
and still it all filled
not my heart
but my head
i tried so much
to get it in gear
to push in the clutch
then let the world steer
i exhausted the power
to try as i might
and in the last hour
i released
from the fight
