I've had this feeling before
a long time ago, far away
Towering trees reaching up
toward distant mountains
pregnant cloud filled skies
the science was there then
the books spread out unseen
the test deadlines and math
the inability to concentrate
the need to learn anyway
what goes worse together
than the destruction of heart
and complex understanding
which is a type of learning
that requires not memory
but a rearranging of thought
merging the mind with cosmos
but this is more than learning
it is the feeling of being crushed
during the evolution of thought
and yet the choice must be made
there is no surrender to despair
only a fight to the last heart beat
knowing no matter how brave
it will not be the last battle
triumph of thought and life
over emotion and longing
until nothing is left
no heart, no college, no wisdom
only the void the heart failed to fill
