Stripped

It can't be tightened further,
And it cannot be removed.
Stuck.
Screwed.
The metal turns against
The hands that would move it.
Tight.
Anchored.
It grips in its place with twisted resolve,
Though all forces pry for its removal.
Unyielding.
Fixed.
Unable to move forward or go back,
Even under mounting pressure.
Stagnated.
Stripped. Ω
