Miscalculation of a Fool

-

It's a reaction

caused by incorrect fraction.

A division of an unhealthy kind.

A problem she longs to solve

as frustration takes hold.

-

She tries over and over again-

never getting closer.

She isn't sure if it's the Numerator

or the Denominator

creating the distance.

-

She pushes forward.

calculating carefully,

as she tries to close the gap.

there has to be a answer;

there has to be a way.

-

Her determination is building

as her stubbornness feeds the frustration.

She must know the answer

but her calculator is failing her,

as insecurities bubble over.

-

Finally, she asked the answer.

she should have never asked.

A defeat through a simple miscalculation.

It appears she is the fool,

because this is just simple math.
