I wasted my breath
On something I didn’t
Manage to say.
I sighed my way
Through this
Negative self talk.
And.
Yesterday I was a better
Man,
Then today I failed
At all this potential
They lied and said
I had.
I’m distant
And
Apathetic.
They scream care
About something greater
Than yourself,
Believe in a great grand
Abstraction.
As though I have
A choice,
But alas,
It’s always something
I have to do.
Never them.
Never good enough,
Told I’m empty without
The things everyone else
Wants.
I’m sure it hurts you more
Than me when I fail
To be your ideal.
As though there
Was a contract
I signed.
