SPINNING FAN

We take our weaknesses
Too much in stride
We should try harder
To overcome
Even if it means
Boasting
About our success

One word is all I need
Sure, I've been waiting
A lifetime
Doesn't matter
Measuring success
Can be difficult
And is not for
The faint of heart

Wonder why
We try
To delay the night
Is not the day
Too long

The spinning of a fan
Disrupting the air
And moving it
Across our sweated brow
This interval
Was much needed
It gave us a chance
To breathe
