Randomly Working Things Out

I erase more than I published,
Overzealous editing-- 
I am in constant revision.

More often than I would like to admit,
My eyes rest upon the power button;
It's become easier to avoid it altogether.

I tense to project my presence,
Rattling cages and the trainers;
Little do they know, I'm holding back.

Can being random be purposeful?
Being random can be purposeful;
It may be how one navigates through the clouds.

A watch winds up faster than it runs;
It reminds me of anger, frustration, anticipation, excitement -- stress, good and bad, if that's possible;
Building up quickly yet, it takes time to work it all out.

Life lessons usually come through hard work,
Working with my hands allows my thoughts to move freely;
Thinking clearly shouldn't be an after-thought.
