Losing Yourself

Try all you might
But you waste your time
Do as you're told
And then disappoint
Promise to get it right
Fighting the world
Venting your frustrations only to clouds
Creating the only breath of fresh wind
With sighs of exasperation
To break
Contest with reality
Quit its game
Yet
Wanting
To face it head on
Hope for failure
And dread success
Hanging off the words of others
Desperate
To try your own hand
At the art
Losing yourself
