There’s angst in this moment
Like a cloud looming up
Something that makes your left eye twitch

Like something above your head
You want to float down
It evades you,
Letting your mind think you can get it
But never letting your eye settle

Your focus lost easily
And your seat unstable
The muscles in your face move
Little bits with each thought

It’s really not your problem
Your nose doesn’t belong there
And yet you’re writing notes,
Taking late night phone calls

It’s like you have ultimate power
Only it’s not all reigning
They listen to you
And you’re careful with that

That’s why your foot bounces
And your head shakes
Every few seconds
With no apparent beat

This power you have
It’s eating you alive
A pressure you can’t handle
A motivation completely uncapped
