Studying the pavement
as you walk along
as if it was a trail and
you might go wrong.
Eyes diverted from the
people that you meet
the only thing you see
passing by is their feet.
Your not in the humour for
meaningless conversation
your head is already filled
with too much aggravation.
Any thoughts of inspiration
has been vanquished
to be replaced by ones
that leave you anguished.
There is no one left
that you can rely upon
now you have realised
life is not a sprint but a marathon.
