A Path Too Easy

The bitter reproach
Of unfulfilled desire
That jaw set grimace
Of self aimed ire

Its just so easy
Not to try
Because sometimes trying
Just doesn't fly

So we hang our heads
And look up lost
Without ever considering
That bitter cost

We hate ourselves for it
But we'd rather not try
Just blame someone else
Or make up a lie

A slope too easy
To fall or jump down
But the bottom isn't water
And we'll still drown
