I Know

A poem

I know I have to beat this thing
I know, I know
I know it’s stealing all my ch’i
Indecision’s killing me
I can’t be where I’m meant to be
I know

I know it’s not just me this hurts
I know, I know
I know it’s blocking every pore
Lock and bolting every door
Everything I’m working for
I know

I know I’m overthinking this
I know, I know
I know this problem can be solved
Along with other things involved
Channels cleared if not resolved
I know

I know it’s just another door
I know, I know
I have these giants in my sight
They all seem geared up for a fight
But that’s not true, it’s just the light
I know

I know it’s just a stitch in time
I know, I know
A button sewed and then another
One hem turned up and then the other
One day, one item to recover
I know
