When Focus Feels Foreign
I stopped and entertained a present thought
And could say I hosted my present moment
for a moment or two
I watched feebly as my own brazen presence
stupefied my senses
and my mind briskly turned within and withdrew
I feel desultory as I supervise my focus
collapse
I supplicate and solicit for my moments
to come back
Therein, rattling is my mind..
My brain belabors and stretches on every side..
Reverberating bursts, foreign to me,
exist and harbor within no coast of mine
My mind resolves as disabling my moments
which comply to surrender
and resign
My mind, now in pain, seeks for itself to run
and it hides
Frankly, I admire a mind
I want it to reciprocate
all fervent and ambitious strides I take
in what I implore for it to implicate
What separates me from my moments?
My
self? My
mind? My
focus? My drive?
When my focus feels foreign
so do I

Your poem is very moving, and is such an eloquent outpouring of emotional introspection. Perhaps it affected me so much because I find it's content so sad when contemplating the narrator, their challenges, and why they feel the way they express.
Thank you for drawing our attention to your poem, it was an honour that you thought of us when sharing it.
