The Stanza

I can't get past a stanza,
haven't been able to for
three 

whole years.

3 whole years of
emotional irritation, of
mental constipation, of
physical inundation of the burden of mediocrity.

And normality is
not so bad.
No struggle, no hate, 

no longing here.

No, normality is
not so bad.
But its only 

a stanza long.
