I Am Lost In My Own Smallness Poem by Shalom Freedman

I Am Lost In My Own Smallness

Rating: 4.0


I am lost in my own smallness
I work in bits of time
My attention shifts
And I shift it
Away from prolonged effort
I am lost in my own smallness
Working is less important
Than entertaining myself
My excuse is old age
But the truth is
I never had courage and persistence enough
I was always small
But now I am smaller still
Little bits of writing are all I do
And I am not much of anything at all.
