What is the reason for distress?

The lesson I guess

is not very much less

than when my thoughts digress

into a mess.

So focus I must

for focus is just

a means of suppressing

the urge to discuss.

Well I should have guessed

such an arduous test

would make every expression

feel restlessly repressed.

So though I respect

that such method is best

I feel only further lost

as I fail to progress.
