Don't Bother - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

i gain some momentum
then drag my feet
i build a reputation
then self defeat

don't look my way
there's no more time
just go away
i'll be just fine

don't give me help
it's just a waste
i'll fuck it up
with what i'm faced
i love the loss
it's just my taste

i welcome help
i really do
and i can't stop
these things from you

my stomach hurts
my brain is fried
your help cant stop
the ends i've tried

you can't save me from myself.
i don't try anymore
i do the best i can
as i burn my path through evermore
