Blanket of Perspective

Stumbling for an understanding
For all the right words
To bridge this gap
It hurts my mind
Picking up a ton
Mental strength
I'm exhausted

I shall lay here a while
On this dark, marbled floor
Allow the cool to soothe my soul
Perhaps without exerting so much force,
The words will slowly float their way down to me
A blanket of perspective
A new understanding -- that
All along,
I had it all wrong.
