what do you do
when at best, your best –
seem little better
than an ill educated guess
i have been underachieving –
for many years

some people need their own identity
yet, they try to take others
and when that does not work
they will create their own
even if that really does hurt

i recently lost our dream house
and i cannot drive a car
wonder what it is all about
have i really come so far?

labels, irresponsbility placed by people
while they feed their children rubbish
as they climb a church steeple
and find a god to kiss,

you seek to punish me
for not loving you
for rejecting you
for not giving,
what life has never given
