Won't Be Long

I should be used to this by now.
But my mind says yes and my heart says no.
I feel significantly useless.
Even though I know I was brought here to do something.
And honestly, that purpose is lost deep inside the jungles of my soul.
I too am lost and helpless,
Like the dog in the shuttlebox.
I have to endure the inescapable pain, like the dog does.
Even my sanity is going insane because it's trying to make me appear normal.
It won't be long before I crumple.
It won't be long before I shut myself down.
