Bite Yer Nails
The specter of indecision surrounds you
Informing every tentative move.
All your senses fail you, you don't have a clue.
You feel fire yet can't find a groove.
What can you do when all effort fails
But rock back and forth and bite yer nails?
You feel the energy surge forth inside you
With nowhere to put it but your fists,
A jittery jolt designed to deride you
As it spurs you on and then resists.
You have the wattage, not what it entails.
It needs an outlet so you bite yer nails.
If only all the elements could combine
And piece together in perfect fusion.
You jump up, you think they're about to align,
But one step proves it's only illusion.
The lightening fails you in the last details.
What choice have you now but to bite yer nails?
