Headstall's Reflections - 41. Chapter 41 I Tire of Me
Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 41 I Tire of Me
I tire of me
And the circles I traverse
They close in like a noose
Getting smaller
Limiting my soul’s freedom
Yes
I tire of me
Playing the same old songs on repeat
Pounding out the accompaniment
To my failings, my losses
Leaving me bereft in patches
Yes
I regroup
So what
It’s only a fleeting respite
From that pit in my stomach
And the longing in my heart
Yes
The circle comes again
As sure as the moon will dwindle
So too will I
A sliver of existence
My light contained
Yes
I tire of me
When did leaping become plodding
And joy become pale?
A refrain repeated
By a sad and shadowed man
Yes
I tire of me
