With every utterance that leaves my lips Exist a thousand more my tongue have missed Frustration causes problems compiling my statements I try to recapitulate my day, but failure hides in my shadow My mind leads me and I follow Complex formulas and conundrums are riddle across my brain Monday through Sunday overthinking regulates my plane I soar through the sky in thought, Though in reality I haven’t left yet Though I consciously monitor my next step Because I’m on plan E and I think F’s next Entrapped by the scent of, The woman that lies beside me My soul watches her as she sleep I lay awake thinking of the rising sun The things to come with the next day I’ve learned a lot mainly that patience pays That vexation puts me in my place, kicks sand in my face Obscures my way, to humble my spirit Arrogance ravages my actions But frustration deflates my ego With every utterance that leaves my lips Exist a thousand more my tongue have missed

Vexation Humbles Me
With every utterance that leaves my lips Exist a thousand more my tongue have missed Frustration causes problems compiling my statements I try to recapitulate my day, but failure hides in my shadow My mind leads me and I follow Complex formulas and conundrums are riddle across my brain Monday through Sunday overthinking regulates my plane I soar through the sky in thought, Though in reality I haven’t left yet Though I consciously monitor my next step Because I’m on plan E and I think F’s next Entrapped by the scent of, The woman that lies beside me My soul watches her as she sleep I lay awake thinking of the rising sun The things to come with the next day I’ve learned a lot mainly that patience pays That vexation puts me in my place, kicks sand in my face Obscures my way, to humble my spirit Arrogance ravages my actions But frustration deflates my ego With every utterance that leaves my lips Exist a thousand more my tongue have missed
