The Write Stuff (The Writing Thread)

[Dookie]

I wrote a song.

Balancing Act

I am nothing
I'm the worst at everything
Only simple tasks I can beat
I can't do nothing right
And all that I am worth is to dispose and die
I've no goddamn personality
The facts I tell are all not but lies

To get some friends
I must be just
like them

I must not be a douchebag
So my self esteem is low
I'm on a circus ball and I'm
Failing at a balancing act

I'm the best at everything I do
I have the voice of an angel
I'm so damn high up on my high horse
I can only hear remorse
The screaming of my detractors
Are just haters who don't understand
The world is harsh but not in my eyes
I only see what benefits me

Who needs to
See the truth through their eyes
When something inside just says

I must not hate myself
So my self esteem is high
I'm on a circus ball and I'm
Succeeding a balancing act

Ain't life hard
Cause you're trying too hard
Ain't life hard
Cause you're trying too much
Cause you expectations are too high
And I shouldn't be where I am today
I don't deserve this anyway

I must not be a douchebag
So my self esteem is low
I'm on a circus ball and I'm
Failing at a balancing act
I must not hate myself
So my self esteem is high
I'm on a circus ball and I'm
Succeeding a balancing act
I must look at the criticism
But not too hard
Look at the praise as well
And finally decide that i'm
Where i'm meant to be
I can't lean in too directions
But can I even sustain myself
Before I
