Something has to give

I can’t always be this broke

My confidence is spent

How did I fall this low?

Knowing how it happened might not change a thing

At least then I would know where to aim this rage

Pages filled with lost aggression

Screaming at the wall and never learning any lessons

Except one simple truth

Smashing my hands on that wall isn’t any use

I lose sight in this sad state

To take the long way ’round has never been my way

I just want to break through

Give a sense of purpose to the fruitless things I do
