‘Drop Before the Fall’

Well, I’m back at it again:

Real life.

No, it’s not this job,

It isn’t anything really

Related to bettering myself

As a human being.

It’s the emotional side

That bugs me the most,

The ridiculous,

Underhanded relationships

I have built.

I am tired

Of trying so hard

To impress,

To implore.

Do you know what it’s like

To adore

Anyone

Who chooses

Not to appreciate

The gifts,

And the talents

You have been given.

It’s as if I’ve been dropped,

And not picked up

For many years.
