To get up the stairs,
These wheels won't let --
It be.
Not trying each day,
No progress
No relapse -
held back by wheels,
I crawl.
Hands aching -
Chairs passing by.
Walls chanting my name.
Never was I in it
For fame.
After hours
Of regret,
The final goal
Is met.

I know that rhyme, rhythm, and meter are not academically standardized.
I am well aware of that, yet I primarily do free verse, and it's based on instinctual writing.
I try to avoid academic language or structure. My poems are not meant to convey a single answer.
I try to convey the unknown through minimalism, mostly dense short stanzas with many line breaks.
If you'd give a critique, please keep this in mind.
