Less Than Me
Cyclical trials and errors of self-improvement! For anyone who has similar thoughts, feelings, experience.
I wake from a dream
regrets they fuel
dream or nightmare
fuel my worries
nightmare of a fall
worries about worth
fall to my death?
worth of self
Death not quite so
self of less
So, life? but not
less than
not quite the life
less than
life I'd choose
than I
choose if I could
I should
could if I would
Should
would I?
Should be
I would and do
Be better
do it all again
Better than
again and again
Than me
again without end
