Human Being
I'm Iost in my thoughts
unlearning things I was incorrectly taught;
At odds with the cost
of wasted time I bought.
I ought to have invested some stock
in myself.
Wish they could have shown me
how to be a boss,
or at least make me feel
like I had that type of wealth
They wanna teach me
probabilities of a coin toss
Not how to assemble a bed frame
Or an IKEA bookshelf.
Learned not to ask for help,
because it was at someone else's convenience.
Not spoken to unless
I became the problem
or had a better reason;
Thought the system was on my side,
but in retrospect it was treason.
Clouds in my mind would grow
regardless of the season;
Dark nights spent alone
trying to grasp life's meaning;
Staring at blank ceilings;
Replaying the day
so I can get better at faking
human being.
