Toil.

I toil for hours,
and find myself
taking small immeasurable steps.
I bang against a ceiling
reinforced with iron.
The bolts
don't come loose
easily.
And beyond this
is a brick wall to climb.

  2. This is a daily occurrence of mine so it doesn't miss.

    Incidentally, so glad you're a fan of GK Asante.
