Progression

Such a concussion—
 1
a huge blow to the head,
 2
them being bored of
 3
how easy it was to figure
 4
you out;
 5
 
 
you wishing you remembered
 6
your work amplified in ways you
 7
were sorry you never heard of.
 8
 
 
That seems to be the problem,
 9
but how do you fix that, to where
 10
you expand your own
 11
library of accomplishments—
 12
 
 
you try to read more into what made
 13
you so successful, but you struggle
 14
to do so,
 15
 
 
because it seems you have reached
 16
the end of your productivity, of other
 17
people's sympathy, have climbed
 18
to your peak and are incapable of
 19
stirring up the procession
 20
 
 
you used to have, but don't anymore.
