To live life without
Any self doubt
Is the key to a life
That’s promising and bright

But as much want as there is
To fulfill this and live life with bliss
It will take more than just thoughts
More than words to get what you want

Hypocritical it is for me, I know
To write these words and have nothing to show
I’m weak, a coward, spineless at most
Who does nothing but mope around and sulk

I hate myself for this
I truly honestly do
I can’t help it, it’s in my nature
To be useless, to be shrewd

But knowing this, I have to make up
For all the disappointment I put up
By giving these words of wisdom I never acted on
For others to see, and do what I have not done
