mind field

By Rachelle Zilavec

time can be short and time can be long
i sit and wait till the clock strikes dawn
until then i crowd myself in thought
with things i didn’t and things i fought
i dream a dream i wish i sought
yet I sit and rot
in a field of knots
my mind flow stuck in a clot
but i will not
forget the lessons i taught
to my future self
that girl i thought i lost
