sometimes i can't even rely upon
being sucked into my own stupidity
i try real hard not to get caught
in games of my own device, making and choice
that strong coffee, i drink a lot of
appears to be my latest detrimental effect
it makes my stomach tear vicious little knots in itself
i'm pinging i’m hurting and i’ve got no time to reflect
this list i have of the things i'm not allowed
grows exponentially by the minute i swear
it’s not more than í reckon that i think i can handle
and just a little more than i thought i would care
so glad of all the tips and pointers i received along the way
and now i find they are worth more to me than wealth
someone else had to make some of those mistakes
cause i didn’t have the time to make them all myself
sometimes the where's and why's of where i wind up
are as a direct result of being sucked into my own stupidity
something inside me gives it all a big green light
an illusion inside a delusion is not a solution

So true for us all. Great work Brenton.
You are so amazing with words. I felt so much of this. We are our own worst critics. I'm glad you've had people along the way you feel you've learned from! ❤️ I felt the part about the coffee tremendously 😅
Well Done!!! Loved it!!!💖💖💕
Great job with this one, Brenton! Especially the last line--that was powerful!
