My mind yearns for distraction, <br />And gets it, <br />Against my will, <br />Time and time again. <br /> <br />I crave an era of focus, <br />Of drive, <br />And determination, <br />With any degree of longevity, <br />But all I can muster, <br />Is a short sharp burst, <br />Time enough to lay plans, <br />To convince myself, <br />This time is different. <br /> <br />But no, <br />Soon enough, <br />Sure enough, <br />The trap is set, <br />The sabotage is designed, <br />I am undone, <br />And I fall, <br />Helplessly, <br />Again, <br />And again.<br /><br />Daniel P Martin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/self-sabotage-2/
