A Frustrating Search

Wrote this today, probably not great or good.

So here I sit.

a box in front of me.

all the information I could ever need

right in my lap.

Page after page, search after search,

What is wrong with me?

How often do I stray

to waste time on something so silly?

How easily distracted I am.

What is wrong with me?

Pens run out, pages fill this binder.

how much more must I learn?

How much farther must I dig

to figure out what's wrong with me?

My head hurts from this.

I can't take one more sentence.

The wheels in my head are burnt out

and still no clear idea

What the fuck is wrong with me.

Battery just died.

I close the lid and stare.

Watch the ceiling fan spin.

How much time did I just waste

searching for an answer that maybe I can't find.

Or maybe, it's far too simple to be seen.

Maybe nothing is wrong with me.
