284. I Can't Do Anything Right

Published on 5 August 2019 at 20:10

I could never do anything right,

even when it was all I had left.

And I may be too weak,

but at least I make sure

to try my best from week to week,

 to show all the rest

that I’ll be fine,

when clearly… I won’t be,

but that’s all on me.

You see, I’ll skip a rock a few times

just to see if it’ll float.

Turns out it won’t,

as my mind is that rock,

and I’ve fallen off the boat,

and I can’t swim… 

‘Cause I’m just dead weight,

waiting on the right time

to write the last line

that I’ll ever write

for the rest of my life,

And when it’s my time,

I’ll know… and I’ll just go peacefully.

At least we’ll see—I’m already

 halfway out the door, mentally.

Just waiting on the rest of me

to catch up, while I rest up… 

emotionally.
